Mnt Goat …the corruption in the U.S. was and is still affecting Iraq and getting the RV we are looking for. Our hope as investors is that the Trump administration can help to finally free Iraq from this tyranny of the Feds and the Obama/Biden policies. But remember there are also Iranian skeletons in the closet too for Iraq that they will have to clean out prior to Trump trusting them and helping them to the extent needed. [Post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
Mnt Goat Article: “TRUMP CANCELS EXEMPTION GRANTED TO IRAQ TO IMPORT ELECTRICITY AND GAS FROMIRAN” US President Donald Trump canceled, …Wednesday…the exemption granted to Iraq to import electricity and gas from Iran…This is evidence that Trump is not going to be relaxed with Iraq and has expectations that they agreed to in his first term and have not yet fulfilled. Folks…almost 7 years have gone by…this is one of those skeletons they must clean up. But there is more to this issue… Iraq has already developed it’s own electric grid…and is now self-sufficient and no longer needs Iranian electricity or gas. So…Why is Iraq still purchasing these utilities from Iran? This is Trump’s point. Get it? …the overall long-term plan is to get Iraqi to the reinstatement. It may seem a long way off, however, I assure you it is not. Just look at how quickly things are moving along. [Post 2 of 2]
