Summary
Iraq’s prime minister heads to Washington this Monday to forge a new era of U.S.-Iraq cooperation, with major oil and gas deals on the table to boost Iraq’s economy and energy independence. Amid rising tensions with Iran, the visit aims to deepen strategic ties, expand Iraq’s military capabilities, and secure alternative oil export routes to avoid reliance on the Strait of Hormuz. Despite a history of friction, including past disputes over U.S. troop presence and Iran ties, the trip signals renewed momentum — underscored by President Trump’s congratulatory message to newly nominated PM Ali al-Zaidi.
