Coronavirus: Iraq Seeks More US Aid

Iraq is reportedly seeking financial assistance from the United States to help it deal with the coronavirus pandemic and collapsing oil revenues.

Health Minister-designate Jaafar Allawi was quoted as saying: "We have been promised by the United States government as part of this strategy between Iraq and United States to help us financially ... I think there is a team negotiating now, or in the process of negotiation, to get Iraq some support, financial support, from America."
