US envoy: Washington proud to stand with Iraq

Iraq ·

US Special Envoy Tom Barrack said on Friday that Washington is committed to expanding economic and commercial ties with Baghdad, a day after meeting Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi. He praised Iraq's efforts to strengthen its sovereignty and attract investment under Al-Zaidi, saying the country is choosing sovereignty over dependency.

Iraq and the United States have worked closely since 2014 on the campaign against the Islamic State group, and Washington remains a major partner for Baghdad, which also maintains close ties with neighbouring Iran.
