Iraq reaches understanding with US on continued cash dollar shipments
Iraqi government spokesman Hayder al-Abboudi announced an understanding reached with Washington to continue cash dollar shipments to Iraq. He said a new shipment is expected to arrive soon.
Why it matters

Background

Key points
- According to RT Arabic, the understandings were reached directly between Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and Washington.
What’s next
A new shipment of dollars is expected to arrive in Iraq in the coming days, according to the Iraqi government's announcement.
