“Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi has asked the Trump administration to send a delegation to Baghdad to “lay down the mechanisms for implementing” America’s military withdrawal. In a statement posted on his official Facebook page, Mahdi said Iraq was “keen to keep the best relations” with its allies, but noted the parliament’s decision that the U.S. should "safely withdraw troops from Iraq.
The prime minister did not give a timeline, but according to the statement, he asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the phone Thursday "to send delegates to Iraq to lay down the mechanisms for implementing (the) Iraqi Parliament’s decision.
Mahdi also told Pompeo “that there are American forces entering Iraq and American drones flying in its skies without permission from the Iraqi government, and that this constitutes a breach of the agreements in place.”
