Donald Trump threatens Iraq with sanctions

15:04, 06.01.2020

The United States president has threatened sanctions against Iraq after its parliament called on US troops to leave the country.

“If they do ask us to leave, if we don’t do it in a very friendly basis, we will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame.

We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time. We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it,” Trump said.

Iraq’s parliament has passed a resolution calling on the government to expel foreign troops from the country after the killing of a top Iranian military commander in a US strike in Baghdad.
