ronscarpa Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 1-13-2020 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf [Q? : Trump said: "We have a lot of their money. There is $35 billion in an account." Guru chattels quote: "My read/take is that Trump said that there is 35 billion dollars in an account belonging to Iraq. That does not mean to me that there is 35 trillion IQD in an account."] You are quite right, the accounts show investments held by the CBI in foreign banks, these investments would not be IQD but local currency. Figures are from 2018 accounts and in millions of IQD, so assets to the value of approx 38T IQD in the Bank of New York. I wonder where exactly he/she got this information...because, why would any foreign country want to have their money in a US bank in US$..? It would seem that there would need to be a reason why an account of such value would even be opened, and if it were, it would make more sense to hold the sovereign currency of that country. JMHO..!

trvlr787 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Trump exaggerates things so I wouldn’t take this as a true number. Likely south of 35 if at all. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATHIM Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 If I am not mistaken... President Trump disclosed that information during an interview on Fox News Tonight. That interview was posted here on DV. He mentioned $35B we have in the US, at around the 14 minute mark. Hope that helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
