Today, I am pleased to announce that the last batch of US troops is withdrawing from Iraq.

Because of very bad decisions, we have been caught up in this quagmire for a very long time. It was a quagmire from the very beginning, lasting many, many years.

But soon, this chapter will come to an end. This is a great day for America. Importantly, as we leave, Iraq has a great new prime minister — Ali Zaidi. He is a great guy.
