US President Donald Trump has defended his decision to withdraw troops from the war-torn Syria, saying America cannot be the world's policeman, as he made his first unannounced trip to Iraq.
President Trump and First Lady Melania secretly left Washington on Christmas night and visited Iraq on Wednesday to deliver holiday greetings to US combat troops. "They travelled to Iraq to thank our troops for their service, success, and sacrifice and to wish them a Merry Christmas," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said.
