U.S. Military Leaves Iraq by September | Austin News
Description
The U.S. military is officially ending its 20-year mission in Iraq, with full withdrawal set for September 30th — a dramatic shift from the 2003 invasion that never found WMDs. After years of combat, the focus has moved to training Iraqi forces to handle threats like ISIS, with U.S. troops now largely gone and Iraqi soldiers taking the lead. President Trump and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi announced the exit, while U.S. companies will remain, especially in oil. This marks the final chapter of a long military presence, as economic ties continue to evolve without boots on the ground.
