BAGHDAD
(Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday France
will keep troops in Iraq as part of anti-terrorism operations for as
long as the Iraqi government needs, whether or not the United States
decides to withdraw.
Macron was speaking at a news conference in Baghdad where several Middle Eastern leaders were attending a summit.
Asked about evacuations of people from Afghanistan, Macron said there
were preliminary discussions with the Taliban about humanitarian issues
and who would help those who need protection. France said on Friday its
evacuation operation had finished.
