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.

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.
