Baghdad does not want to lose Washington’s military support in war on IS
BAGHDAD — For the sake of maintaining cooperations between Baghdad and Washington in the war on Islamic State (IS), Iraq will not retaliate to US President Donald Trump’s travel ban imposed against Iraqis, said PM Haider al-Abadi.
The remarks come after Iraqi parliament earlier this week called for a travel ban on US citizens in a tit-for-tat move. However, Abadi made it clear today that his government “we will not do anything of the sort”.
"We are studying (possible) decisions but we are in a battle and we don't want to harm the national interest," Reuters quoted the PM.
Iraqi army, backed by US-led coalition airpower, is currently leading a massive operation in north of the country, hoping to liberate Mosul from Islamic State (IS). Iraqi official previously on various occasions admitted that US military support, both the airstrikes and advisory assistance, are of critical importance in the war on IS.

Iraq will not retaliate against Trump's visa ban: PM

Iraq will not retaliate against Trump's visa ban:...
Iraq will not retaliate to U.S. President Donald Trump's travel ban against Iraqi nationals because it does not want to lose Washington's cooperation in the war on Islamic State, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Tuesday.
When asked at a news conference if he would act on the Iraqi parliament's vote in favor of retaliation, Abadi said: "We will not do anything of the sort."
"We are studying (possible) decisions but we are in a battle and we don't want to harm the national interest," he added.
The United States provides critical air and ground support to Iraqi troops fighting the militants who overran a third of Iraq in 2014. More than 5,000 U.S. troops are deployed in Iraq.
President Donald Trump on Friday temporarily banned entry to the U.S. entry for people from seven predominantly Muslim countries – Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen
