Jordan Daily – President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that the United States would no longer help Iraq if the country picks pro-Iran Nouri al-Maliki as its prime minister.
“I’m hearing that the Great Country of Iraq might make a very bad choice by reinstalling Nouri al-Maliki as Prime Minister,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Last time Maliki was in power, the Country descended into poverty and total chaos. That should not be allowed to happen again,” he said.
“Because of his insane policies and ideologies, if elected, the United States of America will no longer help Iraq and, if we are not there to help, Iraq has ZERO chance of Success, Prosperity, or Freedom. MAKE IRAQ GREAT AGAIN!” the US president added.
The alliance of Shia political blocs that holds a majority in Iraq’s parliament picked former prime minister al-Maliki as its nominee for the post, it announced last week.
