Former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki confirmed that his stay in political work in Iraq will continue until the end, in a way that achieves the highest interests of the Iraqi people, stressing that the decision of the coordination framework represents the basis from which political efforts begin at the current stage.
Al-Maliki said in press statements in response to US President Donald Trump, that he will continue to work until the end is reached and in a way that achieves the highest interests of the Iraqi people, adding that the language of dialogue between countries is the only political option in dealing, and not the language of dictates or threats.
Al-Maliki renewed his categorical rejection of any American interference in the internal affairs of Iraq, considering it a clear violation of the country’s sovereignty, stressing that the Iraqi political forces will continue to work in the spirit of national responsibility until the goals that serve the Iraqi people are achieved.
Trump: The United States will not return to help Iraq
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said: I hear that the great country Iraq may make a very bad choice by returning Nouri al-Maliki to the position of prime minister.
Trump added in a tweet on the Truth Social platform: The last time Al-Maliki was in power, the country descended into poverty and total chaos. This should not be allowed to happen again.
He concluded: Because of his crazy policies and ideologies, if he is elected, the United States of America will not return to help Iraq, and if we are not there to provide assistance, Iraq will have no chance of success, prosperity, or freedom.
