‘Pay us back’: Trump says troops will not leave airbase unless Iraq compensates US

President Trump Sunday said the United States would not abandon its airbase in Iraq unless the country paid billions for the cost of building it.

“We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as it flew from his home in Palm Springs, Florida, back to Washington.

�We have a very extraordinarily expensive airbase that�s there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time. We�re not leaving unless they pay us back for it,” he said.
