Trump to sign executive order for 'further troop withdrawal' from Afghanistan, Iraq

US President Donald Trump’s outgoing ministration is expected to furr decrease number of Ameican troops in Afghanistan almost in half to 2,500 by January 15, a US official reportedly said on vember 16. As per CNN report, Pentagon has sent a tice to its commanders also kwn as “warning order” to initiate planning process of withdrawal of hundreds of troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq just five days before Inauguration Day on January 20 when 46th US President-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris will be sworn in.

Currently, re are nearly 4,500 US military commanders in Afghanistan and 3,000 in Iraq, but latest move calling for drawdown indicates that Trump ministration is willing to remove thousands of troops from both countries. This also came in backdrop of Trump saying earlier this year that he wants all American soldiers “home” by Christmas, that is December 25. On October 7 Trump tweeted: “We should have small remaining number of our BRAVE Men and Women serving in Afghanistan home by Christmas!”
