Biden Agrees With Trump’s Decision to Pull Troops From Iraq
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday night agreed with President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. Asked if he agreed with the president’s move, Biden said, “Yes, I do. As long as he has a plan to figure out how he’s going to deal with ISIS.” Biden voted to authorize the war in Iraq in 2002.
