Here’s what caused the big problem.
[Parliament] elected Adnan Fayhan as speaker of parliament…The Trump administration started jumping up and down like primates saying, ‘Oh, hell no. We will take your money.’ While all this is going on, Iran cut off all the electricity to Iraq…Iraq is in a very, very, very difficult situation…
Fayhan is the former member…of the most influential Iraqi armed factions backed by Iran…This guy has a history…of attacking US troops between 2006 and 2008…The US is saying if you make one more step forward in this direction we’re going to take your [$112 billion oil sales] money. I know Iraq is upset. I’m upset. We’re upset for Iraq. But this is how it goes…The Trump administration has paused all future meeting with officials who voted for this man. : Sandy Ingram
