Trump says US exit from Iraq a 'victory' for both countries

President Trump touted the final withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq as a win for both countries more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq War. "It's a victory for the United States, it's a victory for Iraq and a decisive victory over ISIS, which has been completely decimated,” Trump said speak

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.
