US to reduce troops in Iraq to about 3,500: media

WASHINGTON, Aug 28 (Xinhua) The Pentagon will cut one-third of U.S. military presence in Iraq, bringing U.S. troops number in the country from about 5,200 down to 3,500, U.S. media reported on Friday.
Quoting several U.S. officials, The Wall Street Journal wrote in a piece that the Pentagon over the next two or three months would reduce military presence in Iraq by roughly one-third.
That would bring U.S. force levels roughly back to where they were in 2015 when the United States was in the early phase of its campaign against the Islamic State, according to the report.
