AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

US-Iraq Pivot: Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi met Donald Trump in Washington, with Trump praising his “tremendous chemistry” and signaling a shift from military ties to business-first cooperation, while al-Zaidi said US forces will leave by September 30 and that Iraq will keep weapons restricted to the state. Oil & OPEC Push: Al-Zaidi pressed for a “fair share” in OPEC and previewed a major US-Iraq oil partnership and trade deals, as Baghdad seeks investment to rebuild after ISIS damage. Anti-Corruption Drive: Iraq seized 825+ pounds of gold and tens of millions in cash in graft operations tied to the oil sector, arresting officials including Defense Ministry figures over a $71M contract case. Security & Militias: Washington is also pressing Baghdad to disarm Iran-backed armed groups as the region stays tense. Regional Energy Route: Turkey and Iraq are close to extending the 1973 Kirkuk–Ceyhan pipeline deal to keep exports flowing as Hormuz remains unstable. Local News: A deadly traffic crash in Anbar killed 7 and injured 3.
