Today, Monday (May 20, 2024), US President Joe Biden announced the extension of the national emergency in Iraq for an additional year.

Biden said in a letter addressed to the US Congress and published by the White House, “The obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, restoring and maintaining peace and security, and developing political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq still constitute an extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of Iraq and to the United States as well.”
