Baghdad: US Special Envoy to Iraq Mark Savaya announced on Sunday that he has assumed his post, as assigned by US President Donald Trump. Savaya posted on the X platform today, “Thanks to the wise leadership of President Donald Trump, Iraq is back in the spotlight. Now I begin my work to make Iraq great again.”

According to National Iraqi News Agency, on Friday, Savaya emphasized that his mission focuses on rebuilding trust and strengthening the strategic partnership between Baghdad and Washington. He noted that the relationship between the two countries is going through a phase that requires direct and honest communication to serve the interests of both peoples.
