Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi was in Washington this
week for high-level bilateral meetings known as the US-Iraqi
Strategic Dialogue. Kadhimi has been hard-charging toward reforms
in Iraq that would combat Iranian influence and prevent the country
from collapse, but these efforts will be undermined by Trump's call
to leave Iraq soon. In this episode of Overwatch, Nicholas
Heras and Katherine Lawlor discuss Kadhimi’s position, the future
of Iraq, and whether he remains a viable US partner.
