Iraq’s President Barham Salih spoke out after Trump said he wanted to keep U.S. troops in Iraq to “watch” Iran. In an interview with CBS Sunday, Trump said, “We have an unbelievable and expensive military base built in Iraq. It’s perfectly situated for looking at all over different parts of the troubled Middle East.” In response, Salih said Trump “didn’t ask Iraq about this,” and that the U.S. military presence in Iraq has the mission of helping to combat the Islamic State. President Salih added the Iraqi constitution prohibits the use of Iraq as a base to threaten neighboring countries.
