ARLINGTON, Va. — The United States faces some "difficult decisions" regarding Iraq and Afghanistan, President Barack Obama said Wednesday.

Obama met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Wednesday on his first visit to the Pentagon as commander in chief.

Afterward, he told reporters that they had talked about Iraq, Afghanistan and broader threats.

"We’re going to have some difficult decisions that we’re going to have to make, surrounding Iraq and Afghanistan most immediately," Obama said.

He did not elaborate on what these decisions might be, and he did not take questions.
