14th and F Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what the security presence outside of the Willard Hotel is for?
14th and F Street, NW
Wondering if its just Freedom 250 stuff or something else. The entire block is surrounded by a barricade of snow plow trucks and there’s a white tent outside of the hotel entrance.”
The Iraqi Prime Minister is staying there.
AP reported:
“President Donald Trump gave Iraq’s new prime minister an effusive welcome at the White House on Tuesday, promoting the “tremendous chemistry” between him and a fellow wealthy businessman who arrived at the seat of governmental power without any prior political experience.
Ali al-Zaidi emerged as a consensus candidate in Iraq after months of deadlock over the premiership following last year’s parliamentary elections. Trump endorsed al-Zaidi for the job after he threatened to cut off U.S. support for Iraq if another candidate became the country’s next prime minister.
