Iraqi officials fear economic "collapse" if
Washington imposes threatened
sanctions, including blocking access to a US-based account where Baghdad keeps oil revenues that feed 90 percent of the national budget.
US President
Donald Trump was outraged by the Iraqi parliament voting on January 5 to oust foreign forces, including some 5,200
American troops, who have helped local soldiers beat back jihadists since 2014.
The US then delivered an extraordinary verbal message directly to Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi's office, two Iraqi officials told AFP.
