President Donald Trump congratulated Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi Monday on his confirmation by Iraq’s Council of Representatives.
“President Trump expressed the support of the United States for Iraq during the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic and emphasized the shared interest with Iraq in achieving the enduring defeat of [the Islamic State],” said White House spokesman Judd Deere. “President Trump also encouraged the prime minister to address the Iraqi people’s demands for reform and legitimate early national elections.”
