“We have no intentions to increase the number of the American contingent in Iraq,” the ambassador said, noting that the number of troops in Iraq does not exceed 2,500.
According to him, the US Embassy will also continue its work.
In March, the White House announced that the United States would resume a strategic dialogue with Iraq to clarify the status of coalition forces in the country.
In January, the United States reduced the number of its troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to 2,500 on the orders of Donald Trump, who was then acting president.
