WHAT HAPPENED

On 25 September, elmanshar.com reported that U.S. President Donald Trump and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi met in New York without members of the accompanying Iraqi delegation. It placed the meeting days after what it described as Baghdad’s extension of its target for bringing weapons under state control from the end of September 2026 to 30 June 2027. The outlet reported the meeting and its timing, but its account does not establish that the two leaders discussed the deadline.

    “U.S. President Donald Trump and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi met in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly without members of the accompanying Iraqi delegation. The meeting came days after Baghdad announced a change to its timetable for confining weapons to the state, postponing the target from the end of September 2026 to 30 June 2027.”

    اجتمع الرئيس الأميركي دونالد ترامب ورئيس الوزراء العراقي علي الزيدي في نيويورك، على هامش اجتماعات الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة، في اجتماع لافت بغياب أعضاء الوفد العراقي المرافق لرئيس الحكومة. وجاء اللقاء ... بعد أيام فقط من إعلان بغداد تعديل جدولها الزمني الخاص بحصر السلاح بيد الدولة، وتأجيل الموعد المستهدف من نهاية سبتمبر 2026 إلى 30 يونيو 2027
