A statement will be issued after the meeting to announce the end of US combat missions in Iraq, according to a senior official in the Biden administration.

There are currently about 2,500 American soldiers in Iraq, whose tasks are focused on confronting the remnants of the terrorist organization "ISIS".

And the US role in Iraq will change completely to being limited to training and advising the Iraqi army.
