The Pentagon says it will reduce the number of U.S. troops in Iraq from about 5,200 to 3,000 during the month of September. The drawdown comes nine months after the Trump administration ignored an order by Iraq’s parliament for all U.S. troops to leave Iraq, following the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in January on President Trump’s order.
