U.S. Envoy for Iraq Ousted Amid Tensions with Baghdad

Mark Savaya, appointed by President Donald Trump as special envoy for Iraq in October, has been removed from the role, according to sources cited in a Reuters report.

The Iraqi-American entrepreneur, lacking diplomatic experience, reportedly mishandled key issues, including failing to block the nomination of former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whom Trump has warned against. This development occurs amid escalating U.S.-Iraq tensions over Iranian influence.

U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack is believed to be assuming Iraq duties, though officials declined comment. Savaya denied the change, but sources say he never officially joined the State Department, and his X account has gone offline.
