The United States has cancelled the US visa of former Iraqi Finance Minister, Taif Sami Mohammed Al Shakarchi. This action follows the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s decision to add her name to its terrorism watchlist. The Trump administration made the decision after the FBI flagged Al Shakarchi, indicating a potential national security concern. Details surrounding the reasons for her inclusion on the watchlist have not been publicly released. This visa revocation restricts Al Shakarchi from entering the United States. The move signals a heightened level of scrutiny regarding individuals with connections to Iraq, particularly those previously holding high-ranking government positions. Further investigation is expected to reveal the extent of the concerns prompting this action.
