US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis has arrived in Baghdad on an unannounced visit, reportedly for discussions on defeating the ISIS terrorist group. He said earlier on Monday that the US military is not in Iraq “to seize anybody’s oil.”
“I think all of us here in this room, all of us in America, have generally paid for our gas and oil all along and I’m sure that we will continue to do so in the future,” Mattis told a small group of reporters traveling with him, while discussing his top objectives for the trip, Reuters reports.
“We’re not in Iraq to seize anybody’s oil,” he stressed.
