On Wednesday, U.S. and Iraqi officials said the most recent round of talks did not result in a timeline for the withdrawal of the last 2,500 service members in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion marked the third meeting between the two nations and the first during the Biden administration. When asked about the progress of the plan, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby shifted the blame onto Iraq by saying troops were only there by invitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a mutual decision by the Iraqi government and the United States government.
