BAGHDAD (Reuters) – President of the al- Nasr coalition Haidar al-Abadi said on Thursday that he rejected the visit by US President Donald Trump to Iraq , pointing out that this method would harm the bilateral relations between Iraq and America.

“We reject the way in which US President Donald Trump’s visit to Iraq took place,” Abadi said in a statement. “This method is not commensurate with diplomatic norms.”

Abadi said that “dealing with Iraq and sovereignty in this way will harm the Iraqi-US relations,” calling on the countries of the region and the world to “realize that Iraq is strong and dear and sovereignty is in the interests of security and stability in the region and the world.”

He added that “the reconciliation requires the support of Iraq to strengthen its unity and security and prosperity and sovereignty,” pointing out that “the achievements and victory achieved by Iraq and the fullness and defeat of the fighters will remain large, and dazzled the whole world through which the imposition of Iraq signed in the region and the world and can not go back.”

The White House said Wednesday that US President Donald Trump had arrived in Iraq and that Trump had denied any plans to withdraw his troops from Iraq.

BGG ~ Who cares what Abadi thinks, at this point? He’s not any major part of the GOI… certainly not the PM. He and his posse met with President Trump and was labeled a career criminal. Maybe it’s good he’s gone.

Some “unnamed element” of Sadr’s bunch is creating some back-lash, but this too sounds a lot like political wrangling.

The bottom line is… the Mahdi GOI was notified (in accordance with all known protocols) and Mahdi was invited to Washington in exchange. Nothing to see… 0ther than our POTUS showed up in a hostile area to visit the troops over Christmas.
