The Iraqi Premier Haider al-Abadi is leaving for the US at the head of a high-ranking delegation. This trip is going to be taken upon an invitation by the US President Barack Obama. He is due to meet and confer with the US president on Tuesday under critical conditions, for; not only Iraq is engaged in serious war with ISIL terrorists but also the Middle East region is undergoing an imbroglio.
Thus, it seems that the security issues, equipping the Iraqi army with advanced weapons and above all pursuing the arms treaty concluded between Baghdad and Washington will be the issues to be discussed by the two leaders.
Iraq and the US had already signed several military agreements which Washington has rescinded to put them into effect. These agreements include the sale of 34 F-16 fighter jets, Apache helicopters, RADAR systems and other strategic weapons which the US has refrained from living up to his commitments due to being at loggerheads with the former Iraqi prime minister.
Presently, Iraq is faced with serious security threats and terrorism of ISIL outfit. Haider al-Abadi, in his first Washington visit, is going to convince the White House officials to fulfill their obligations stipulated in the military agreements inked by the two sides and that with the conditions of special repayment by Iraq.
According to the reports of the news sources the Iraqi government has faced with a deficit of 21 billion dollars due to the global plummeting of oil prices. Therefore, Al-Abadi is intent to convince the Americans to accept reimbursement of the debts by installment. It is not clear what will be White House's reaction to the request.
The Americans have shown double stances on the issues pertaining to cooperation with Iraq in its combat against terrorism. On the one hand Washington has sent its military consultants to train the Iraqi armed forces while on the other hand it doesn’t live up to its commitments to strengthen the Iraqi army and has even come short of arming the army as per the agreements concluded between the two countries.
This has stirred resentment and even suspicion among the Iraqi officials. They doubt if the US is going to cooperate with Iraq in its campaign against ISIL terrorists or it should rely on another country's assistance for this endeavor. For sure, the Iraqi premier's White House visit will be beyond an ordinary diplomatic visit as the regional circumstances after the breakthroughs of the Syrian forces and the Saudi regime's invasion of Yemen have raised requirements that have made Iraqi officials more sensitive.
Since the US has been involved in the formation of some of these security upheavals, being aware of Washington's new stances vis-à-vis the current issues of the Middle East is of paramount importance for the Iraqi officials and Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi in person.
