President Donald Trump addressed reports alleging the United States would pull several thousand soldiers out of Iraq, saying it’s not going to happen in the near future while stressing that the country would suffer following the death of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

“It’s the worst thing that could happen to Iraq” for the U.S. to withdraw now, Trump told reporters in the White House as he met with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
