Trump actually gets his way?

Trump has made no secret that he wants to get the U.S. out of the endless wars of the middle east. You may recall in November, he orders U.S. troops out of Syria. He was criticized for "abandoning the Kurds", supposedly to some mass extermination by the Turks. So far the Turks are playing nice (at least it hasn't been in the news), and no one is talking about it anymore.
But what about the assassination of the Iranian general, and the subsequent vote by the Iraqi parliament to expel foreign troops, including the U.S.? Is Trump getting his way again because of this?

Soleimani’s death opens a door to alternative security arrangements in the Gulf

The US killing of Iranian general Qassim Soleimani has further opened the door to a potential restructuring of the Gulf’s security architecture.
In line with an Iranian plan launched at last year’s United Nations General Assembly by president Hassan Rouhani that calls for a security architecture that would exclude external forces, cooler heads in Tehran argue that an expulsion of all US troops from the Middle East would constitute revenge for Mr. Soleimani’s assassination.
While it likely would be a drawn-out process, Iraq’s parliament took a first step by unanimously asking the government in the absence of Kurdish and Sunni Muslim deputies to expel US forces from the country.
