TRUMP TARGETS MALIKI: WE WILL NOT HELP IRAQ IF HE RETURNS TO POWER

 TRUMP TARGETS MALIKI: WE WILL NOT HELP IRAQ IF HE RETURNS TO POWER

US President Donald Trump spoke on Tuesday about the “bad choice” Iraq might make by reappointing Nouri al-Maliki as prime minister.

In a tweet on TruthSocial, Trump said, “I hear that the great country of Iraq may be making a very bad choice by reappointing Nouri al-Maliki as Prime Minister.”
He added, “Last time Maliki was in power, the country descended into total poverty and chaos,” adding, “This should never be allowed to happen again.”

Trump pointed out that “because of his crazy policies and ideologies, if he is elected, the United States will no longer help Iraq, and if we are not there to help, Iraq will have no chance of success, prosperity, or freedom. Make Iraq Great Again!

It is worth noting that the Iraqi Coordination Committee decided a few days ago to nominate Nouri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law Coalition, for the position of prime minister.
