It is noted that the United States issued a warning to the Iraqi authorities that access to the account would be lost if American troops were withdrawn from Iraq.

This warning was issued by the acting Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Al Abd al-Mahdi during a telephone conversation.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that in the event of the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Baghdad must pay Washington for the construction of military bases and embassies on the territory of this state.

On January 5, the Iraqi parliament voted to withdraw foreign troops from the state.
