Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi's visit to US, meeting with Trump strengthens US-Iraq ties - analysis
It appears that Trump likes Iraq’s new leader. Zaidi is a former businessperson, like Trump. As such, Zaidi tried to present a new face of Iraq to the White House
Assessment
The visit signals a potential reset in US Iraq relations under a leader who shares a business background with the US president. The personal rapport between the two could translate into more pragmatic bilateral dealings, though the substance of any agreements remains unclear. Observers should watch for concrete outcomes on security cooperation and economic investment.
