Iraqi politicians are dissatisfied with the unexpected US President Donald Trump’s visit, who decides to visit US troops stationed in Iraq, Reuters reported. 

Local politicians called Trump's unannounced visit a violation of the country’s sovereignty.

Sabah al Saadi, the leader of the Islah parliamentary bloc, called for an emergency session of parliament “to discuss this blatant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and to stop these aggressive actions by Trump who should know his limits: the US occupation of Iraq is over.”

The Bina bloc, led by Iran-backed militia leader Hadi Al Amiri, also objected to Trump’s visit to Iraq

“Trump’s visit is a flagrant and clear violation of diplomatic norms and shows his disdain and hostility in his dealings with the Iraqi government,” the bloc said in a statement.

Prime minister Abdul Mahdi’s office said in a statement that he had been informed about the visit.

According to the statement, Iraqi PM and US president talked by phone due to a “disagreement over how to conduct the meeting.”

Iraqi lawmakers told Reuters that the pair had disagreed over where their planned meeting should take place as Trump had asked to meet at the Ain al-Asad military base, an offer which Mr Abdul Mahdi declined.
