US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a surprise visit to Iraq Sunday, discussing how the two countries will handle intelligence gathering and fight political corruption as the US military begins to withdraw.
US Secretary of State John Kerry has made a surprise visit to Iraq to urge its leaders to do more to prevent planes from neighbouring Iran flying through its airspace to supply arms and ammunition to the Syrian government, and to discuss the sectarian conflict still plaguing the country ten years after the US ousted the Saddam Hussein regime.
