Rashid Al-Saadi, an expert in economics, revealed today, Friday, that the United States is putting pressure on Iraq to provide Jordan with oil at symbolic prices.
“American pressures and international agendas were exerted on previous and current governments to supply Jordan with petroleum derivatives and exempt many Jordanian goods from tax procedures,” according to Al-Saeedi.
He explained that “in light of the decline in oil prices, these measures and pressures on Iraq are negatively affecting its economy.”
He went on to say, “Imposing American and international restrictions on the Iraqi government’s supply of oil derivatives to Jordan paved the way for the Zionist entity to obtain Iraqi oil without the central government’s knowledge.”
