A White House official provided a diplomatic answer and said that the US Vice President could not greet Iraqi government officials due to a violent crackdown on protesters across Iraq’s south. Instead, this visit was more related to Trump and his administration’s changes and reviews to their policy in Iraq and Syria, including the role Kurds want to play in both countries."
