Iraq's former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki strongly rebutted Donald Trump's public threats against his return to the position of prime minister, calling it an "outrageous violation" of Iraq's sovereignty and democracy, and clearly stated that he would not withdraw from the campaign because of this. Previously, Trump had warned on the social platform Truth Social that if Iraq chose Maliki as prime minister, the United States would terminate its support for Iraq, accusing Maliki of causing the country to fall into "poverty and chaos" during his previous term in office, and emphasizing that if the US withdrew, Iraq would have "no chance of success, prosperity, or freedom." In response, Maliki said that countries should interact through dialogue rather than "commands and threats," and stated that his candidacy was based on the Iraqi constitution and the decision of the largest Shia political alliance in Iraq, "The Coordination Framework."
