WATCH LIVE: Trump hosts Iraq’s prime minister at the White House

President Donald Trump welcomed Iraq's new prime minister, Ali al Zaidi, to the White House on Tuesday morning for a bilateral meeting. Trump had strongly backed the political neophyte during his bid for office, later describing al-Zaidi's April victory as the beginning of a tremendous new chapter between their nations. The two leaders are scheduled to speak to the press around 11 a.m. following their discussions regarding the current political landscape in the Middle East.
