The fight against Islamic State Group (EI) was at the heart of a meeting Tuesday in Washington between Barack Obama and Haidar al-Abadi. Iraqi Prime Minister, on his first official visit to the United States, came to ask for more support from the White House. He claims an increase in coalition strikes on jihadist positions in Iraq, as well as weapons, including US drones.
'' We will defeat the Islamic state, '' said Obama, who spoke of significant progress in the field, even if we expect a long-term campaign insists does one side Washington.
The US president also announced an increase of $ 200 million for humanitarian aid to Iraq.
