UK says its forces will leave Iraq if Baghdad demands move
Britain will withdraw its troops from Iraq if Baghdad so demands, UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace says.
“We are… trying to get them to say that it’s in your best interest for us to remain,” Wallace tells parliament, according to the Reuters news agency. “[But] we will respect Iraqi sovereignty. If they require us to leave, that is their right and we will respect it.”
