Pompeo meets Iraq officials on unannounced Baghdad visit

Baghdad, Jan 9 (AFP) US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met Iraqi officials, including the speaker, on an unannounced visit to Baghdad on Wednesday, the parliament's spokesman said.

Pompeo's talks, on the second leg of a key Middle East tour, come less than two weeks after President Donald Trump drew criticism for failing to meet a single Iraqi official during a surprise Christmas visit to US troops. (AFP) AMS
