Trump drew a line for Iraqi resistance.
In an interview with Al-Arabi Al-Jadid, Iraqi information sources revealed the details of the US announcements and warnings, which were made in a telephone conversation last Thursday between Donald Trump, US President, and Ali Zaidi, the Iraqi Prime Minister, in the presence of Thomas Barak, the US special envoy to Iraq.
This call included explicit warnings regarding the case of arms monopoly by the government and the necessity of practical action by Baghdad to end the presence of arms outside official institutions.
According to these sources, Trump emphasized that the Iraqi government must go through the phase of political commitments to implement the arms monopoly in practice, and concrete steps are awaited in Washington.
