Trump: If Maliki Regains Power, the US Will Completely Cut Aid to Iraq
Trump warned that if Nouri al-Maliki regains power, he will completely cut aid to Iraq.
Trump said, "I heard that the great Iraqi nation might make a very bad choice - reappointing Nouri al-Maliki as prime minister. When Maliki was in power last time, the country fell into poverty and complete chaos. This situation must not happen again. Because of his crazy policies and ideology, if he is elected, the US will no longer assist Iraq. If we do not extend a helping hand, Iraq will have no chance of success, prosperity or freedom. Make Iraq great again!"
It is known that Maliki served as Prime Minister of Iraq for two consecutive terms from 2006 to 2014, and is currently the leader of the "State of Law Coalition". The "State of Law Coalition" won 29 seats in the Iraqi parliamentary elections held last November. On the 24th of this month, the largest faction in the new parliament, the "Coordination Framework Alliance", announced the nomination of Maliki as the new prime minister candidate.
