Tishwash:  Iraq and the Inter-State Transformations in the Relationship with Washington

 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani was not seeking, during his recent visit to the United States, a media glare or a souvenir photo at the White House as much as he was seeking to bring about a qualitative shift in the relationship between Baghdad and Washington

A profound transformation in this relationship and to go beyond the stage of focusing on the security file that has dominated the relationship since 2003, and to move towards multiple partnerships in several fields. However, in the beginning, there is an urgent need to restore confidence between the two parties in a way that achieves the strategic interests of Iraq.

There are still sharp differences between the two parties, the most important of which is in the method of performance and management of files.

 It seems that Mr. al-Sudani seemed more willing to reach an understanding and present conditions that were not previously proposed in drawing up the relationship between the two parties, including financial guarantees for loans and other financial exchanges that were not clear in the exchange between Iraq and America. link
