— 🇮🇶/🇺🇸 NEW: Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has met US presidential envoy Tom Barrack to discuss regional security developments and strengthening bilateral relations.

Barrack thanked the Iraqi premier for his “leadership and partnership”.

The meeting follows last month’s full withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, which Baghdad has hailed as a major step toward restoring its sovereignty.
