Shafaq News- Baghdad
Iraq will complete its new cabinet in early July, ahead of
Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s scheduled trip to the United States, Government
Spokesman Haidar Al-Aboudi noted on Sunday.
During a press briefing, Al-Aboudi indicated that the visit
follows an invitation from US President Donald Trump and will include
discussions on political, security, and economic files of mutual interest. He
added that the Prime Minister will not take part in the upcoming elections and
will not establish any political party.
On May 14, the Iraqi parliament approved Al-Zaidi’s
government and ministerial program, granting confidence to 14 ministers out of
23, while nine ministries remain vacant due to disputes over candidates and
political quotas, including the Interior, Defense, Higher Education, and
Planning ministries.
