McGurk is the most senior White House official to visit Baghdad since al-Sudani assumed office three months ago.: Al-Sudani, who was appointed after being endorsed by the pro-Iranian factions known as the Coordination Framework, is trying to balance Iraq's relations with the U.S. and its relations with Iran.
Al-Sudani told McGurk and Hochstein that his government wants to strengthen cooperation with friendly countries “in a way that secures the interests of the Iraqi people," according to a statement from his office. McGurk also told al-Sudani that the U.S. is committed “to advise, enable and assist Iraqi forces in their fight against ISIS and to ensure that ISIS can never again regenerate in Iraq and Syria."
