US Threatens to Freeze Iraq's Assets

The US is threatening to freeze Iraq's bank account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York over Iraq's insistence that US troops leave their country. US troops in Iraq are nominally the guests of the Iraqi government, meaning that they may be asked to leave at any point. In practice however, the US troops there are an occupying power and Washington will see to it that Baghdad understands that.
