Trump Visits Iraq – level 2

31-12-2018 15:00

A day after Christmas, President Trump gave his first visit to troops in a war zone when he and First Lady Melania Trump visited US troops in Iraq. The Trumps spent three hours with them.

The president also spoke with reporters about the US government shut-down. He also said that he has no plans to remove the troops from Iraq.

Recently he said that he would remove troops from Syria. People believe that when the US leaves, some groups in the war will fight one another. It is not known how the US will leave Syria.

Difficult words: troop (a group of soldiers), US government shut-down (when the US government closes until government leaders can agree on a problem), remove (take away from somewhere).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
