for three hours and a half.
 
The visit to US troops in Iraq took place in al-Assad air base.
 
No meetings were held with the Iraqi side.

................................................................................................Three and one half hour visit with no meetings with Iraq side . Long enough to support The Worlds Greatest Military and perhaps . Long enough to sign some Historic agreements ? Wishful thinking I know ......

The Sadrist movement finds no justification for the disappearance of Trump in a base on national territory: visited Iraq "stealthily"

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump's visit to Iraq came after his military failure in Iraq and Syria and his global role has declined, the leader of the Sadrist movement said on Thursday, calling on the government and parliament to define the Iraq-US relationship and end the alliance's presence.

"It is not clear why Trump disappeared at the base of Ain al-Assad for three hours under the pretext of blessing his troops for Christmas," Zamili said in a statement. "This method of Trump violates international norms and traditions and violates the sovereignty of the country."

Al-Zamili stressed "the need to respect the sovereignty of Iraq, which has torn the US political and destroyed infrastructure and ruptured its social unity and stolen wealth and looted and raised the potential and has been plagued by multiple pages of terrorism from 2003 to 2014, with names and various laws such as Al Qaeda and Tawhid and Jihad.

"It is imperative for the Iraqi government and parliament to determine the relationship with the US government and the level of the US military presence, both numbers and rules, and the entry and exit from Iraq in accordance with international norms and norms in force," Zamili said. After the achievement of the great victory and the expulsion of a supporter of the terrorist from Iraqi territory. "

Law: Abdul-Mahdi's clarification on Trump's visit is not the required level and the matter has become more ambiguous

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A coalition of state law said on Thursday that the clarification of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi's office on US President Donald Trump's visit to Iraq "was not at the level of the event and the matter was ambiguous," adding that the visit "blatantly violated sovereignty." 

"The coalition of state law confirms its rejection of the presence of any foreign forces on Iraqi soil and respect for the US withdrawal from Iraq, which we are celebrating these days, under which full Iraqi sovereignty was obtained."

"The sovereignty that Iraq has gained with the blood and sacrifices of the Iraqi people is an insurmountable red line, and the recent visit by US President Trump to the Ain al-Assad base, where no Iraqi official has met, is a visit in which Iraqi sovereignty has been flagrantly violated," the statement added. 

The statement pointed out that "the clarification issued by the Office of the Prime Minister was not at the level of the event and increased the ambiguity, which requires the Prime Minister to clarify the circumstances of the visit and its implications." 

"This visit, which aroused the Iraqis 'discontent and concern, calls on us to ask the government to state the fact that there are so many American forces and the nature of their work in Iraq to dispel Iraqis' fears and concerns about the future of their country." 

The White House on Wednesday (December 26, 2018) revealed a "surprise" visit by US President Donald Trump to Iraq.

The Office of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, said that the US authorities informed the Iraqi authorities of US President Donald Trump's visit to Iraq.
