Iraq's caretaker premier told Kurdish leaders on Saturday he did not seek a hostile relationship with the United States, in his first visit to the autonomous region since coming to power in 2018, AFP reported.
Prime Minister Adel Abd al-Mahdi travelled to Erbil with a delegation of top ministers and his intelligence chief.
The trip came at a time of political turmoil for Iraq, after months of anti-government rallies that saw Abd al-Mahdi resign and worsening ties with the US as Iraqi lawmakers push for a withdrawal of foreign troops.
