Obama had spent some four hours in Baghdad, meeting with US forces while also holding talks with Iraqi leaders, including President Jalal Talabani and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
The visit to Baghdad, previously undisclosed for security reasons, had followed the US president's eight-day tour through Europe which had included the G20 meetings in London, the NATO summit in France and Germany, the EU-US summit in Prague and a two-day visit to Turkey.
