Biden extends an invitation to meet Sudanese at the White Houselink to see this article in full and more go to: My FX Buddies BlogThe leaders of the coordination framework remained silent about the news of the invitation sent to Prime Minister Mohamed Al-Sudani, who has been in New York for days to attend United Nations meetings, to meet with US President Joe Biden. During recent weeks, there were two opinions within the Shiite coalition regarding Iraqi and American efforts to complete the meeting between the two parties. A conservative opinion and a move to obstruct the meeting or at least lower its level, and a second enthusiastic opinion.Before the Sudanese traveled to the United States, the Prime Minister had temporarily resolved the salary crisis with Kurdistan, which he expected would disturb his meetings with world leaders there, while the second file related to currency smuggling is still strongly active.On the eve of the Prime Minister's departure to attend the global event, the value of the Iraqi dinar had declined significantly against the dollar, and the reason for the rise of the foreign currency against the local currency was mostly due to the continued smuggling of money to Tehran.On the other hand, activists published new details about the demonstrations that are supposed to begin today, Wednesday, in front of the government headquarters, which may complement other protests on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the October protests that broke out in 2019.Yesterday, a statement from Al-Sudani’s office revealed that the Prime Minister received an official invitation from President Joe Biden to visit the White House, which was conveyed to him by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken during a meeting on Monday on the sidelines of the United Nations meetings.
