AL-ZUBAIDI: THE AMERICAN NEW MIDDLE EAST PROJECT IS AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR IRAQ, AND WE MUST JOIN IT
AL-ZUBAIDI: THE AMERICAN NEW MIDDLE EAST PROJECT IS AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR IRAQ, AND WE MUST JOIN IT
The best path for the future of Iraqis.
Iraqi politician Baqir Jabr al-Zubaidi called on Sunday for Iraq to be included in the American New Middle East Project. He said it represents a significant opportunity for a better future for Iraqis based on an economic foundation free from wars and conflicts.
As US-Iranian negotiations enter a serious and important phase, the new Middle East is taking shape in a way that will have significant repercussions for Iraq.
The US administration has openly declared its desire to forge a new Middle East based on an economic foundation, free from wars and conflicts. This represents a significant opportunity for Iraq, which possesses tremendous economic potential.
Trump’s visit focused on Saudi Arabia and Qatar for purely economic reasons, and the contracts signed are clear evidence of the economic agenda.
The Iranian-Saudi rapprochement has contributed and will contribute to greater stability, while the UAE, on the other hand, appears more preoccupied with conflict zones in Sudan and Libya.
Saudi Arabia has successfully struck a blow to the Qatari-Turkish project in Syria by spearheading the lifting of US sanctions on Damascus. In doing so, it sends a clear message that it will not stand idly by, especially given that the US side desires a Saudi role there.
Oman continues to play its historic role in the region and the world to the fullest, in line with Sultan Qaboos’ policy of “extending a hand to all.”
Jordan continues to lose its role as a mediator with Israel in the region amidst the changes taking place, and will attempt to find a new role to help it emerge from its internal crises.
The new Middle East will depend on oil markets, financial markets, and the flow of investment. It is up to decision-makers in Iraq to take the right path and set the country on this path for a better future for Iraqis.

😊And even yet more support for Iraqi development as we read article titled “MINISTER OF FINANCE DISCUSSES SUPPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN IRAQ WITH WORLD BANK”
In the article Iraqi Minister of Finance Taif Sami discussed with the World Bank Representative to Iraq on Sunday enhancing cooperation to support development projects. Discussions evolved around plans to enhance cooperation to support development projects by leveraging the technical and financial support
The statement added, “The two parties discussed developing the private sector and encouraging investment as the primary driver of sustainable economic growth, in addition to the need to support financial reforms to achieve stability and growth.”
😊Okay so there is yet more evidence even with the Trump administration pursuing Iraq in article titled “AL-ZUBAIDI: THE AMERICAN NEW MIDDLE EAST PROJECT IS AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR IRAQ, AND WE MUST JOIN IT.” Al-Zubaidi says the
best path for the future of Iraqis to be included in the American New Middle East Project.

So, the question I keep asking is can Trump turn this mess in the middle east around to a peaceful economy with abundance and prosperity for all instead of conflict and war?
I think it just may be possible.
I believe Trump has God on his side and will work towards these objectives. Is this just because Trump is a businessman and patriot. This goes much deeper, and you can believe what you want, but I believe there is “divine intervention” taking place. In other words, he is being “guided”.
Yes, he is still human too and so don’t forget he can make mistakes, but his intentions are real for peace and prosperity instead of war.
This brings me to say that sometimes in order for peace, God calls for the destruction of of his enemies. His enemies are usually ours too. Sad to say that sometimes this takes eliminating our enemies first.
We read this in the bible too in the Old Testament. God is on the side of righteousness and justice. I would never want to see anyone suffer or die in war for that matter. But we know at times, peace comes with a price.
Peace through appeasement does not work. It only comes to haunt you later. It never works. Yes, a president many get through his four years of his administration appeasing the enemies of the U.S. and looking like a hero. But in the long run it has never worked.
It is best to confront our adversaries head-on and deal with them. Why leave the hard work for the next guy elected into office. I am afraid to say this is what Obama did for Trump’s first term and Biden did for Trump’s second term. Now he has to clean up their messes.

😊If we take a look at the article in today’s news titled “IRAQ INVESTMENT FORUM”, we can clearly see that now is the time for American companies to come pouring into Iraq.
Yes, under the President Trump administration this is possible and encouraged. He knows there is a ton of money to be made in Iraq.
What another Iraqi forum?
The Iraq Investment Forum is a major event being hosted by Baghdad in mid-June under the patronage of the Prime Minister.
This important event joins a series of other activities that have gained similar importance, such as the Arab Summit and the Arab Media Conference, which have restored Iraq’s leading role in hosting important economic and regional events that establish stability, prosperity and development in Iraq and the region.
It is worth noting that there are 140 investment opportunities offered by this forum, in which major international investment companies with unique experiences around the world will participate.
😊 In another article it backs up the last and is titled “FAGIN CONFIRMS TO AL-SUDANI THAT WASHINGTON IS SEEKING TO BRING ITS COMPANIES INTO IRAQ .” In the news Al-Sudani calls for expanded cooperation with Washington
Iraqi, particularly in the areas of economy, investment, security, energy, education, investment, and private sector activities. Fagin emphasized the importance of bilateral relations between the United States and Iraq and the US government’s support for partnerships with Iraq at various levels and in various fields.
He also praised the Iraqi government’s efforts to accelerate development and urban renaissance, and “to encourage American companies to invest and partner in Iraq”.
😊And even yet more support for Iraqi development as we read article titled “MINISTER OF FINANCE DISCUSSES SUPPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN IRAQ WITH WORLD BANK” In the article Iraqi Minister of Finance Taif Sami discussed with the World Bank Representative to Iraq on Sunday enhancing cooperation to support development projects.
