Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Baghdad Tuesday in a surprise visit to mark the end of the war.
During his visit, Biden will meet with Iraqi officials to discuss the future of U.S.-Iraq relations. The Vice President will also speak at an event commemorating the sacrifices and accomplishments of U.S. and Iraqi troops.
As President Obama announced in October, all U.S. combat troops will leave Iraq by Dec. 31.
This is Biden’s eighth trip to Iraq as Vice President.
