Shafaq News/ Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Fouad Hussein, called on the United States of America to reconsider the sanctions imposed on 21 Iraqi banks that contribute to financing food basket items for families with limited income, as the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Wednesday.
Iraq adopted the ration card system, what is now known as the “food basket,” following the issuance of UN Security Council Resolution No. 661, issued on August 6, 1990, imposing an economic blockade on the country as a result of Saddam Hussein’s regime’s invasion of Kuwait.
