US President Donald Trump defends his decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria
For the first time since he became president two years ago, Donald Trump visited American troops in a conflict zone - Iraq.
His surprise three-hour stop was at an air base west of Baghdad the day after Christmas.
He didn't meet any of the Iraqi leadership but invited Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi to the White House in the New Year.
Trump used the opportunity to defend the withdrawal of troops from Syria saying it was made possible by the defeat of ISIL.
