– US President Donald Trump flew down to the Assad air base on Wednesday to make his first visit to a conflict zone in the world.
The surprise trip was overseen by a large secret and several actions, due to security concerns “about the foundation’s presidency and the first lady,” Trump said, who seemed angry and sad at the same time.
“I was very worried about this trip after I heard things to go through to get here,” he said after arriving in Iraq.
“I had concerns about the institution of the presidency, not about myself, I had concerns about the first lady.”
NBC News reported that Trump left Washington in a light-shutter and window-shuttered aircraft, as well as a large air defense, indicating the great fears that accompanied the visit, which lasted about 3 hours.
“I did not live this atmosphere before,” the source quoted Trump as saying. “The whole place was black. You had to go through this experiment.”
The plane landed at 19:16 local time at al-Assad air base in Anbar province in western Iraq. The president spoke to the soldiers and also met the military commanders.
The White House said on Thursday that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet with Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi in Baghdad on January 11.
