Article quote:  “In a monumental policy declaration that marks a seismic shift in Iraq’s domestic and foreign policy, Prime Minister Ali Falih Al Zaidi opened his black box on Saturday, June 27, 2026. He outlined a sweeping economic and sovereign restructuring blueprint ahead of his highly anticipated state visit to Washington, D.C. Al Zaidi made it clear that his upcoming meeting with US President Donald Trump will not be a passive diplomatic formality. Instead, it serves as the official dawn of a post-military, hyper-economic partnership designed to rapidly modernize Iraq’s digital, financial, and energy infrastructure.”
