US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have made an unannounced Christmas visit to US troops in Iraq.

　　They travelled there "late on Christmas night" to thank troops for "their service, their success and their sacrifice", the White House said.

　　然而，特朗普与伊拉克总理阿代尔·阿卜杜勒·马赫迪(Adel Abdul Mahdi)原定的会晤被取消了。马赫迪办公室表示，这是因为两位就如何举行会晤问题上存在分歧。
