US partially resumes cash dollar shipments to Iraq: Report

New York, Jul 2 (UNI) The United States has partially resumed sending cash shipments of US dollars to Iraq after a months-long suspension, The New York Times reported on Thursday, citing a spokesman for Iraq’s prime minister.
“The dollar shipments to Iraq have resumed … the problem has been resolved,” Haider al-Aboudi, spokesman for Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, was quoted as saying.
Washington in April had suspended cash payments for oil revenue, which have been handled from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in an arrangement dating to the aftermath of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, as well as security assistance over a spate of attacks on US interests.
