U.S. military withdraws from Iraq two decades after invasion
23 years after the United States military invaded Iraq, sparking an insurgency and a civil war, the U.S. has withdrawn its forces, as the country still tries to combat Iranian influence.
What the coverage shows
NPR and the New York Times both lead with the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq after about two decades, but they frame the grouping differently. NPR’s extract gives the Iraq item substantive detail and adds that the country is still trying to combat Iranian influence, while the New York Times uses the withdrawal as part of a broader roundup and also notes, in its headline, that Trump told A.I. giants to police themselves.
