Biden meets with Iraqi prime minister at White House
President Joe Biden welcomes Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi to the White House Monday amid reports the two countries may be ready to announce the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the end of the year. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said last week that discussions between the two governments “have been extremely constructive and are ongoing” but would not say whether Biden is planning to announce a specific date and other plans for the withdrawal. Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein, however, said he expected an agreement to be announced that U.S. fighting forces will not remain in Iraq. The U.S. still has about 2,500 troops in the country after a series of drawdowns in recent years. Their assignments include counterterrorism operations and training Iraqi security forces.
