What began with the 2003 invasion has evolved into a focused role supporting Iraq’s fight against ISIS — a mission now largely handed over to Iraqi forces. President Trump and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi confirmed the withdrawal, citing Iraq’s growing economic strength — especially in oil — as proof the U.S. no longer needs a military presence. American companies will remain, signaling a new era of business ties over boots on the ground. This move closes a complex chapter, underscoring Iraq’s growing self-reliance and the U.S.’s pivot toward strategic economic engagement.
