After nearly two years, President Trump and Melania finally visited U.S. troops in a combat zone. Trump took the opportunity to try and justify his decision to withdraw all U.S. forces from Syria and half of those in Afghanistan. He did not attempt to explain his failure to notify allies or military leaders of his decision before announcing it. He did inform the Turkish and Russian Presidents of his decision.
The federal government remains partially shut down. It is becoming more apparent that the government will not re-open the government until the Democrats take over the House on January 3. Even after that Trump will probably want to wait until there is polling evidence that he, and not Democrats, are being blamed for the shutdown.
