Tishwash: US State Department: Announcement of agreement on the future of the international coalition from Iraq within two weeks
The US State Department expected to announce the agreement on the future of the international coalition from Iraq within two weeks.
“We expect that in the coming days, within a week or two, I don’t want to specify a specific date, but in the coming days and weeks, we will hear more about the position, and I don’t mean the American position, but the joint position, because the partnership between the United States and Iraq is the most important
And when we say there is an agreement or a deal; there was a deal or there was an agreement years ago regarding the presence of the American army and the international coalition in Iraq, this was at the invitation of the Iraqi government and secondly to combat terrorism only, and therefore we must see in this context of the agreement that was in the past years, how we will change if the circumstances change
As we must change or at least we must renew this defense and security relationship with Iraq,” said the US State Department’s regional spokesman, Samuel Werberg, in a press statement.
“So far, there is no official announcement or statement for me to share, but as I said weeks ago, we knew that since the announcement by Secretary of Defense Austin, we saw that the US government and the Iraqi government were intervening in these discussions to set the appropriate conditions for the continuation of this coordination between the two countries, so we expect that in the coming days and maybe within a week or two we will hear more.” link
