The Saudi foreign minister’s visit to capital comes a week after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken travelled to Riyadh for high-level talks.Shortly after, it was confirmed that Iraq has been able to repay a considerable $2.7bn of its debts to Homeland incurred from importing natural gas.The US had previously blocked the money based on the sanctions it unilaterally imposed on Homeland after then-President Donald Trump’s 2018 withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal. Washington has said the funds can only be used “for humanitarian and other non-sanctionable transactions”.
