America First: Donald Trump Ordering the Withdrawal of Many Soldiers from Afghanistan and Iraq

Donald Trump’s White House will order 2,500 troops stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq to come back home by the end of the year, NPR reports.

The big picture: Donald Trump campaigned on ending these “forever wars.” He appears to be trying to make good on his promise in the last months of his first term.

Go deeper: The President made several shakeups at the Pentagon, allowing for these movements to happen. People at the Pentagon had previously been caught lying to the president about the numbers of troops in the Middle East.

Trump had tweeted in October that the troops would be home by Christmas.

This is another fulfilled promise from our great president.
