President Donald Trump said US companies were involved in many prospects in Iraq\u2019s oil business.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Kadhimi\u2019s visit, five US firms signed agreements with the Iraqi government aimed at boosting what the White House characterized as Iraq\u2019s energy independence from Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The US Department of Energy in a statement said that Honeywell International, Baker Hughes, General Electric, Stellar Energy, and Chevron had signed commercial agreements worth as much as $8 billion with the Iraqi ministers of oil and electricity.<\/p>\n<p>US energy companies have been trying to expand their involvement in the oil-rich nation. In 2018, the Trump administration reportedly warned Iraqi officials to forgo a $15 billion power generation deal with Germany\u2019s Siemens and award it to General Electric instead.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bloomberg News, senior US officials warned former Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi at the time that signing the deal with Siemens would seriously jeopardize Iraq\u2019s relations with the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iraq\u2019s Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar said his country is planning to produce its own gas to meet domestic needs, but imports from Iran will continue for the next five years.
