## Resource

Iraq’s new Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is set to meet with President Trump this Tuesday in a high-stakes diplomatic push to reset U.S.-Iraq relations, promising a new era of prosperity and security. Trump, who clashed with the previous PM over Iran ties, is betting Iraq’s future hinges on American support — especially as Iran-backed militias continue threatening U.S. bases and defy disarmament deadlines. Al-Zaidi’s delegation, packed with business and government leaders, aims to unlock U.S. investment in Iraq’s oil, energy, and infrastructure sectors — signaling a pivot from political tension to economic partnership. The talks will be closely watched as Iraq tries to balance regional pressures with Washington’s demands for stability.
