Honor to meet KRG Prime Minister @masrourbarzani. Furious that @IraqiGovt PM @mohamedshia and his @iqministryofoil would oppose US investments to develop Iraqi gas which is essential to stop Iranian imports. US investments in @Kurdistan will always be supported by the US. pic.twitter.com/wKJIFPaUFA
