U.S. military “not in Iraq to seize oil”

The US Defense secretary, Jim Mattis, has made his first trip to Iraq as Pentagon chief. 

While holding talks he said that the US military is "not in the country to seize anybody's oil."

Mattis is the highest-ranking US official to visit Iraq since President Trump imposed a controversial travel ban.
