Is Trump rushing foreign policy decisions before leaving office?

United States President Donald Trump is making some of his final foreign policy decisions before leaving office.

Trump has made further cuts to the number of US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Even Republican leaders say the move could risk security in the region.

Media reports also say the Trump administration is considering tougher action on Iran and Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

With just two months left in office, what legacy will Trump leave for President-elect Joe Biden?
