Abadi tells Trump Iraq’s oil is for Iraqis and no one else

[DoD]

Folks we need to remember one thing about Abadi. He was corrupt like all the rest, maybe not to the extent as most of the rest but still corrupt. He made a statement the other day about America paying for all the chaos an problems it created with the invasion of Iraq. I won't preach a sermon on what I think of Abadi right now but is he good for Iraq, absolutely. Let's just be honest though an say the only real thing he wants from the USA is their money an military support.

     PM ABADI SAYS IRAQ'S OIL IS FOR IRAQIS

 

Iraq's oil is the property of Iraqis, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Tuesday, in reaction to U.S. President Donald Trump who argued that the United States should have taken possession of the nation's crude reserves.
In a speech to CIA officials on Saturday, Trump suggested the United States should have taken Iraq's oil in reimbursement for the 2003 invasion that put an end to Saddam Hussein's rule.
Trump also suggested that taking Iraq's oil would have prevented Islamic State from rising up, by removing a source of the group's funding.
"It wasn't clear what he meant," Abadi told a news conference when asked about Trump's comments. "Did he mean in 2003 or to prevent the terrorists from seizing Iraq's oil?"
"Iraq's oil is constitutionally the property of the Iraqis," he said.
The new U.S. president has also sent messages offering to increase the level of assistance to Iraq, Abadi said, without giving details on the nature of the assistance.
"I've got assurances from President Trump that the assistance to Iraqi will continue and that it will also increase," Abadi told a news conference in Baghdad.
Trump has made the fight against Islamic State, the hardline group that declared a self-styled "caliphate" over parts of Syria and Iraq in 2014, a priority for his administration.
A U.S.-led coalition is already providing critical support to an offensive by Iraqi forces to take back Mosul, the largest city under control of Islamic State. The United States is also providing financial support to Iraq.

mylilpony,  100% Agree.  I'm also 100% certain he knows how important the "Oil & Gas Law" approved and voted in Parliament.  It is a Win Win for Iraq, KRG, Oil Companies, Investors and of course the rest of the "World".   Sharing the wealth...

Don't get me wrong I really dig DJT, he's going to do great things for us, he's clearly a doer and likes winning, we the American people will benefit from his presidency. But taking resources from another county isn't that a war crime according to the Geneva convention?

DJT meant that we should have kept the oil as war reparations for spending out the wazoo for their country. You know like how Germany was supposed to pay everyone money for the war they waged but still haven't. The money used from the oil proceeds could have gone to paying for the wars we fought to liberate their sorry behinds.

Trump: if the United States imposed control over oil there would have been "Daesh"

Dr Adnan al-Sarraj head of the Iraqi Center for Media Development, and former MP in the Iraqi parliament, in an exclusive interview with "Sputnik" Commenting on US President Donald Trump hint that Washington had to take Iraq's oil reserves to pay back the invasion of Iraq costs in 2003: It is clear Trump's foreign policy lacks a lot of experience and ability to adapt to regional and international and domestic balances. It also raises a lot of tensions within the global political reality. This is not the first and not the last call, for Trump regarding financial compensation and oil and the like from other countries.

He noted Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi clearly worried by the actions of his government Trump, because the US intervention has been under United Nations resolutions, and US pressure and severe under false pretenses. This intervention in the destruction of government official and sovereign institutions in the country and led. 

 

Iraqis planning to the principle of demanding material compensation from the United States of the damage brought by the citizens and the Iraqi infrastructure due to its occupation of Iraq during the period of 2003-2011, and today actually Iraqi Council of Representatives this proposal taught well and will take the necessary decisions on the payment of compensation and damages. 

 

It should be noted that Trump has hinted, in an interview with officials from the CIA last Saturday, that the United States had to take Iraqi oil to pay off the invasion in 2003, which resulted in the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime costs.

 

Trump spoke during the meeting, also taking on Iraq's oil was possible to prevent the rise of organizing "Daesh", by depriving him of the source of financing.
