Trump Administration Drafts Sanctions Against Iraq
“Senior administration officials have begun drafting sanctions against Iraq after President Trump publicly threatened the country with economic penalties if it proceeded to expel U.S. troops,” the Washington Post reports.
“The Treasury Department and White House would likely play a lead role if the sanctions are ultimately implemented… Such a step would represent a highly unusual move against a foreign ally that America has spent almost two decades and hundreds of billions of dollars supporting.”

One nation cannot go around whipping half the world with its big stick while offering few carrots for very long.....
Another international form of sanctions.....
