Iraqi MPs unimpressed by Donald Trump's surprise visit, call for US forces to leave
Donald Trump's surprise visit to US forces in Iraq has left a sour taste in the mouths of local MPs, prompting calls for an end to American deployments.
Mr Trump, making his first presidential visit to troops in a troubled region, said he has no plans to withdraw the 5,200 US forces in the country.
