The PM has yet to announce the date of his visit.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia will visit Washington to discuss the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, the Prime Minister's Press Office said.

The press office said that the premier would visit Washington soon to discuss the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq without stating the precise date of his visit.

The Iraqi government and the US Embassy in Baghdad have discussed the issue several times before, and there is full coordination between them, but they have not reached a settlement yet.

There are remaining issues that need to be addressed directly with US officials, a source within the PM's press office said.

On January 5, 2020, the Iraqi Parliament passed a resolution to "expel" the US and coalition forces from Iraq following a White House-ordered drone strike on Iraqi Revolutionary Guards Corpus Commander Qassem Solaimani and Popular Mobilization Forces Deputy Commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
