US 'could cut 50,000 Iraq troops'
The US could withdraw up to 50,000 of its troops from Iraq by the end of the year, Iraq's president has said.

"At least from 40,000 to 50,000 American troops can be by the end of this year," Jalal Talabani told the Washington Post newspaper.

Mr Talabani said the possible pullout was prompted by the progress made in preparing Iraq's own forces.

Mr Talabani is in Washington for talks with President Bush, in which he said troops reduction would be discussed.
