US Ambassador to Iraq Matthew Toler on Sunday commented on the US intention to include former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on the list of possible future sanctions, while revealing the “justifications” of including the four previous figures.
“The US administration used the powers to impose sanctions several times before using them in Iraq,” Toller told NAS during an interview with a number of journalists at the US Embassy in central Baghdad today (August 4, 2019). “The four figures that were imposed Punish them, carried out acts that weaken the role of Iraq. ”
“We do not apologize for imposing sanctions and what we have done supports Iraq’s sovereignty, as their actions have affected the stability of the country,” Toller said.
Toller declined to comment in response to a question by Nas correspondent on the information that indicated Washington’s intention to include former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on a new list of new sanctions.
A US report has talked about “suspicious relations” between Maliki and an American general about “corruption allegations”, which Maliki considered in a subsequent statement to include “Iraqi national figures on the new US sanctions list.”
