Trump’s "New Man" in Baghdad: Sovereignty or Subjugation?

Political Engineering: The statement signals a return to aggressive interference in Baghdad’s internal politics, aiming to bypass the Framework and the Axis of Resistance influence.
Military Footprint: This "support" likely masks the continued presence of 2,500 U.S. troops and the utilization of Ain al-Asad Airbase as a regional hub for the CENTCOM agenda.
Economic Leverage: With Iraq’s $100B+ in oil reserves held in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Trump’s "favor" is a reminder of the financial shackles placed on Baghdad.
The Critical Question:
Can a leader "made in Washington" truly serve the interests of the Iraqi people, or is [Al-Zaidi] merely the latest administrator for the American occupation?
