President Donald Trump went to Al Asad Air Base in Iraq on Wednesday to meet with American troops, an unannounced visit and his first to an active combat zone since taking office in 2016, the White House said.
First lady Melania Trump joined him on the visit, breaking with precedent of former first lady’s traveling to war zones.
The president tweeted video clips from his visit with the service members as Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” played.
