British PM Theresa May on surprise visit to Baghdad
British Prime Minister Theresa May pays a surprise visit to Baghdad where she met with her Iraqi counterpart Haider al-Abadi and praised the country’s efforts to battle the Islamic State group.
May’s visit came after Iraqi forces backed by an international coalition including Britain ousted the Islamic State group from swaths of Iraq it had controlled since 2014.
May praised “the bravery and sacrifice of the Iraqi security forces” and pledged British support “for as long as the Iraqis want and need it.”
