Direct U.S. Intervention in Selecting Iraq’s Prime Minister: Brack Praises Al-Sudani

Thomas Brack described his meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani as productive, noting discussions on Iraq’s goals to build a stable and prosperous future in line with the U.S. President’s plan for peace and prosperity in the region.
Brack emphasized that having an effective Iraqi leadership aligned with U.S. policies is a key step toward achieving stability, in a clear reference to Al-Sudani’s role following the U.S. veto of the Coordination Framework candidate Nouri al-Maliki.
