Trump celebrates US military exit from Iraq as the end of a ‘very expensive excursion into Hell’
The withdrawal, agreed on two years ago, comes against the backdrop of the ongoing war between the US and Iran that has also sometimes spilled over into Iraq
Reuters
What the coverage shows
Both Reuters and NPR frame the story around the U.S. exit from Iraq as a move that could benefit Iran and create space for ISIS, with Reuters also calling it a symbolic victory for Iran and warning of a possible Islamic State foothold. NPR’s first item foregrounds retired Gen. H.R. McMaster’s warning, while its later roundup-style headline mentions the withdrawal in passing among other stories and does not repeat the same emphasis.
