"Trump's insistence on keeping his forces in Iraq will make the latter go to the Security Council and the international community legally to remove the American forces after they violate sovereignty," he added.

And that "the other move must be by seizing the opportunity of the US House of Representatives, especially Speaker Nancy Pelosi, against Trump's policy, and this opportunity can be seized by the Iraqi parliament’s communication with its American counterpart to bring out American forces through diplomatic means and spare Iraq to go to war in which it is the loser." the biggest". 25 n ended

US President Donald Trump has said that he has no problem withdrawing from Iraq, but that Iraqis have to pay for its withdrawal, noting that countries like Saudi Arabia and South Korea are pushing to deploy more of his forces.

In an interview with Fox News, the US President added that Iraqi leaders are not calling for the withdrawal of US forces in private talks.

He pointed out that his country built one of the most expensive airports in the world, and that it spent billions of dollars on it, and that Iraq has to pay all of those costs, noting that in its grip 35 billion dollars of Iraqi money.

Trump noted that countries like Saudi Arabia and South Korea pay millions of dollars for the deployment of American soldiers there.

He said in his interview with Fox News that he told Saudi Arabia, for example, that it had to pay money to deploy more soldiers, adding that it had already put a billion dollars in a bank account, according to Al Hurra.

On the calls of Iraqi officials to start planning for the withdrawal of US forces, Trump said, "This is what the Iraqis are saying publicly. But they are not saying that in private sessions."

It is noteworthy that the Iraqi parliament approved a bill a few days ago requiring the government to take the necessary measures to withdraw the American forces from Iraq, after the American forces assassinated the Quds Force commander, Qassem Soleimani, at Baghdad Airport.

Loss of access to New York Fed account, where international oil sale revenue is kept, risks creating cash crunch in Iraq’s financial system

The Trump administration has warned Iraq this week that it would risk losing access to a government bank account if Baghdad expels US forces following the US air strike that killed an Iranian top general, according to reports. Iraqi officials.

The State Department warned that the United States could block Iraq's access to the country's central bank account held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a move that could shake up the already fragile Iraqi economy, officials said.

Iraq, like other countries, maintains government accounts at the New York Fed as an important part of managing the country's finances, including revenues from oil sales. The loss of access to accounts could restrict Iraq's use of these revenues, creating a cash crisis in the Iraqi financial system and restricting an essential lubricant for the economy.

The prospect of US sanctions against Iraq was born after the US air strike on January 3 that killed Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad International Airport. The Iraqi parliament voted on Sunday to urge Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi to work for the expulsion of some 5,300 American soldiers.

In response to the non-binding resolution, which was supported by the Prime Minister, President Trump threatened to impose sanctions against Iraq if the United States were forced to withdraw its troops.

Abdul-Mahdi advanced these plans this week, asking the United States to accept talks to plan for the safe withdrawal of US troops, according to an Iraqi description of a call Thursday with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Pompeo disagreed with the Iraqi version of his appeal to Abdul-Mahdi and said that the United States would continue its campaign in Iraq against the extremist group of the Islamic State. The State Department declined to comment on the US warning to Iraq regarding its New York Fed account.

The warning about the Iraqi central bank account was sent to the Iraqi Prime Minister on Wednesday on an appeal, according to an official from his office, who also addressed the overall military, political and financial partnership between the two countries.

Spokesmen for the Iraqi Prime Minister, his central bank and his embassy in Washington did not respond to requests for comment. The US State and Treasury Departments and the Federal Reserve Board declined to comment.

The Federal Reserve Bank in New York, which may freeze accounts under US sanctions law or if it reasonably suspects that the funds may violate US law, said it did not comment on specific account holders.
The potential economic and financial fallout weighs on Iraqi officials who are trying to cope with the presence of American troops without causing a backlash. In recent days, Iraqi officials have stressed the need for friendly relations with the United States, while militias and pro-Iranian politicians are pressing to expel American troops.

"Whenever you have an amicable divorce, you always have concerns about children, pets, furniture and plants, some of which are sentimental," said a senior Iraqi politician.

Abdul-Mahdi said that the departure of American troops is the only way to avoid a conflict in Iraq because the United States does not trust the country's security forces to protect its troops.

But there are questions about his authority to expel them, given his status as interim prime minister. Other potential obstacles include the Kurds and most of the Sunni leaders, who boycotted the session in which parliamentarians voted to expel the troops.

During the parliamentary debate, the speaker, a Sunni, urged Shi'a lawmakers to be aware of the potential backlash: "One of the measures the international community could take is to end financial transactions with Iraq, and we would not be able to meet our commitments to our citizens at all times, "said Mohammed al-Halboosi, based on a video of the proceedings viewed by the Wall Street Journal.

The financial threat is not theoretical: the country's financial system was crushed in 2015 when the United States suspended access to the central bank account at the New York Fed for several weeks, fearing that the money only filtered through a weakly regulated market to Iranian banks and the extremist Islamic State group.

"The US Fed basically has control over the entire [Iraqi economy", "said Shwan Taha, president of the Iraqi investment bank Rabee Securities.

The prospect of sanctions has shaken ordinary Iraqis, for whom the memory of having lived under the United Nations embargo in the 1990s is still fresh. The pro-Iranian factions and other Shiites leading the charge to oust US forces from Iraq have sought to reassure the public by telling them that Iraq could pivot in China.

Prime Minister’s adviser Abd al-Hassanein al-Hanein said that although the threat of sanctions was a concern, he did not expect the United States to accept it. "If the United States does this, they will lose Iraq forever," he said.

In addition to the financial impact, many politicians, including some Shiites, fear that an American withdrawal will allow the Islamic State to reappear as a major threat. They also see the United States as a necessary counterweight to Iran, which tightened its grip on the Iraqi government during the presidency of Abdul-Mahdi.

The United States is concerned that an exodus of American forces will allow the American currency to be redirected to Iranian accounts and to other adversaries, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Trump administration's sanctions campaign against Iran has reduced the flow of U.S. dollars to the Tehran government over the past year. The US dollar, the most traded currency in the world, is used by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to pay its foreign agents fighting against the United States and its allies in the region, including in Iraq, officials say. US.

Foreign exchange houses and banks owned or controlled by Iranians in Iraq have been a major source of funding for Iran and its proxies active in the country, including those who fight American forces, officials said. US.

The New York Fed provides banking and other financial services to about 250 central banks, governments and other foreign official institutions, such as the account held by Bangladesh from which North Korean agents were able to steal $ 81 million in 2016 said American officials.

When Iraq needs hard currency, its central bank can request invoices, which it then distributes to the financial system through banks and exchange offices. While the official currency of the country is the dinar, US dollars are commonly used.

The New York Fed does not publicly disclose how much money it currently holds for the Iraqi central bank. But according to the latest financial statements from the Central Bank of Iraq, at the end of 2018, the Fed held nearly $ 3 billion in demand deposits.

Restricting Iraqis' access to dollars could cause the value of the dinar to decline, as it did in 2015, which could once again trigger a dash for dollars in Iraq as individuals, businesses and banks are trying to get cash. Such a devaluation could lead to wider economic problems, as it would reduce the purchasing power of workers, businesses and the government.

The government of Iraq requests to send delegates to establish mechanisms for the withdrawal of American forces Rc_157898828210_23

Iraqi officials have expressed their fear of an economic "collapse", if Washington imposed sanctions that it had previously hinted at, including freezing bank accounts in the United States, in which Baghdad holds oil revenues that make up 90 percent of the state budget.

US President Donald Trump was angry after the Iraqi parliament voted on January 5 to remove foreign forces from the country, including about 5,200 American soldiers who had helped local forces defeat ISIS since 2014.

He said threatening that if the soldiers were asked to leave, "then we will force them." Sanctions they had never seen before. ”

Two Iraqi officials told AFP that the United States subsequently delivered an extraordinary indirect verbal message to the office of resigned Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi.

One of those officials said, "The Prime Minister's Office has received a threatening call that if American forces are expelled, the United States will close your account at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York."

Parliament voted to end the presence of foreign forces in Iraq because of discontent over a US airstrike by a drone in Baghdad two days before the session that killed the influential Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and deputy chief of the PMF Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

Iraq is the second largest producer of crude oil in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and depends on more than 90 percent of the state’s $ 112 billion budget in 2019, on oil revenues.

Therefore, we have always stood with Iraq and presented Many loans. For example, America is the largest donor to Iraq in the field of mine clearance, as we worked on an area of 82 million square meters so that the Iraqis could live safely and wander around wherever they wanted.

"We do not want that to happen if America imposes economic sanctions on Iraq, but if the Iranians and their proxies in Iraq succeed in getting us out, even though many Iraqis want us to stay and build relationships with us, then if ISIS or the like return to destabilize Iraq, we will be isolated On that, but I repeat that we do not want that to happen.
