Halabousi enters the line of the breach of sovereignty and calls for Washington to this matter

President of the House of Representatives Mohammed al-Halbusi entered the line of crisis of violation of sovereignty and the patrol of US forces in Baghdad and Mosul and the statements of US President Donald Trump provocative to Iraq. 
This came during a meeting with Chargé d'Affaires of the United States Embassy, Joe Hed. 
Al-Halaboussi said in a statement that the meeting discussed the development of bilateral relations between Baghdad and Washington, as well as discussing the political and security situation, coordination in combating terrorism and the necessity of supporting the United States of Iraq in reconstruction and investment.

Al-Halabousi's meeting with the charge d'affaires comes in the shadow of a surprising silence by him about the US presence and Trump's statements, as well as the silence of several other political forces.

In the meantime, most of the political positions united on the need to end the US presence or to set controls for him and not to plunge Iraq into the conflict Washington is waging with the countries of the region and Iran in particular.

Pence, Iraqi PM talk over phone regarding security, economy issues 

 
WASHINGTON, March 18 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Monday talked with Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi over phone regarding security and economic issues.

According to a statement issued by the White House, Pence and Abdul Mahdi "discussed opportunities to advance the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Iraq, including continuing to work together to strengthen and professionalize Iraq's Security Forces and grow Iraq's economy."

Pence "welcomed news of Iraq's recent economic and trade agreements with Jordan and the Prime Minister's upcoming travel as major steps towards Iraq's reintegration in the region after the territorial defeat of ISIS," the statement read, referring to the Islamic State (IS).

For his part, Abdul Mahdi updated Pence on the Iraqi government's efforts "to exhume the mass graves of ISIS's genocide against Yazidis in Sinjar" and added that "he would personally investigate security and economic impediments" noted by Pence as preventing the return of many of Iraq's religious components and other displaced persons.

The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) said last week that a UN team tasked with investigation in crimes committed by the IS group will assist the Iraqi authorities in exhuming mass graves in Iraq's northern province of Nineveh, where the IS has killed hundreds of Yazidis in 2014.

Yazidis are a group of people indigenous to northern Iraq. Some of them identify themselves as ethnic Kurds, but most of them identify themselves as a distinct ethno-religious group. Hundreds of local Yazidi villagers were reportedly murdered by the IS fighters in August, 2014, while more than 700 women and children were abducted.

Congressional deputies demand Trump to maintain a military presence in Iraq

Political | 09:07 - 19/03/2019

BAGHDAD - 
US Congressmen asked President Donald Trump not to reduce the US presence in Iraq. 
"At this crucial moment, it is a mistake to withdraw from Iraq, because it seeks to protect its sovereignty from internal and external threats and to transform the country into a prosperous and viable democracy," the heads of the Armed and Foreign Affairs and Intelligence Committee of the US House of Representatives said in a statement. 
"We call on the administration to continue to deal with Congress in order to ensure a stable future for the Iraqi people," the deputies added. 
Legislators considered it necessary for the United States to continue its "participation" in the fate of Iraq, including through training programs for Iraqi security forces and cooperation in the field of investment and trade and the provision of humanitarian assistance to those affected by the practices of "Daash".

US President Donald Trump has announced earlier that the United States intends to maintain the military presence in Iraq to monitor Iran.
