Distancing himself from remarks by President Donald Trump at the start of a visit to Iraq on Monday, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said the U.S. military is not in Iraq "to seize anybody's oil." Mattis is on his first trip to Iraq as Pentagon chief. He is hoping to assess the war effort as U.S.-backed Iraqi forces launch a new push to evict Islamic State militants from their remaining stronghold in the city of Mosul. But following the Trump administrations executive order for a temporary ban on travel to the United States and for saying America should have seized Iraq's oil after toppling Saddam Hussein in 2003, Mattis is likely to face questions about Trump's remarks and actions. http://bit.ly/2m1dz5S http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
