Mr. Trump said the two discussed the U.S. continuing to provide support for the fight against ISIS. The two leaders also agreed to pursue a long-term partnership to “decisively” root out terrorism.“I think they’re prepared to do more to fight terrorism and be more engaged,” Mr Adabi told a forum after his White House visit.

He said he had been told US “support will not only continue but will accelerate”.

In the coming months, US and Iraqi leaders will hold consultations on steps to deepen commercial ties and promote investment, expand collaboration in the energy sector, and seek new opportunities for cultural and educational cooperation./.
