Trump intends to announce US troop cuts in Iraq and Afghanistan

"The spokesman said that tomorrow (September 9 -

) we should expect an announcement on the further withdrawal of troops from Iraq, and in the coming days - another announcement regarding Afghanistan," the message says.

At the end of August, Trump confirmed the plans of the US government to reduce the number of military contingent in Iraq to 3.5 thousand.

In mid-July, the Pentagon confirmed the completion of the first phase of the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, in which the United States reduced its contingent in this country to 8,600 people.
