We're not in Iraq to seize anybody's oil: US Defence Secy
US Defence Secretary James Mattis, who is on a visit to Baghdad, has said that the country's military is not in Iraq "to seize anybody's oil". Americans will continue to pay for their oil and gas, Mattis added. Notably, President Donald Trump had earlier said that America should have seized Iraq's oil after toppling leader Saddam Hussein in 2003.
