ZitatThe United States plans to withdraw 2,200 troops from Iraq before the end of September, a top U.S. official said Wednesday.
“We are continuing to expand on our partner capacity programs that enable Iraqi forces and allow us to reduce our footprint in Iraq,” Marine General Frank McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command, said during a visit to Iraq.
The drawdown will take the number of American forces to 3,000.

The official also said there would be an announcement concerning Afghanistan in the coming days.
