"TOTAL VICTORY"The unannounced visit in Iraq followed in the footsteps of two of Trump's predecessors, Republican George W Bush and Democrat Barack Obama, who both made surprise trips to see troops. While in Iraq, Trump also spoke to military commanders and the US ambassador. Sanders said they "came up with a powerful plan that will allow us to continue our path to total victory" over Islamic State. Unlike Syria, Trump said he had no plans to withdraw from Iraq. Trump spoke to troops gathered in a dining hall festooned with holiday decorations and teased soldiers about their favorite football teams.
