The first Iraqi comment on America's decision to partially withdraw its forces Time: 11/17/2020 14:42:17 Read: 2,873 times (Baghdad: Al Furat News) The Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee commented, on Tuesday, on America's decision to partially withdraw its forces from Iraq. Committee member Badr Al-Ziyadi said, "The decision to withdraw America for 500 of its soldiers from Iraq was taken by US President Trump," noting that "American forces need time to completely withdraw from Iraq." He added that "when the new American president comes, it is certain that he will have a specific policy, especially with regard to presence in Iraq," stressing that "the Iraqi parliament has passed a law to remove the American forces and pressure has been put in place to implement it." The Pentagon recently issued a notice to commanders, known as a "warning order," to begin planning to reduce the number of US forces to 2,500 troops in Afghanistan and 2,500 in Iraq by January 15, according to military officials.
