Iraq's Al Abadi to visit Trump
Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar Al Abadi
Washington- Arab today
US President Donald Trump will host Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi in Washington in March, the White House said Tuesday, a fence-mending meeting as the two countries fight Daesh in Mosul.
Press secretary Sean Spicer said Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany will visit next week and “the following week, the president will welcome the prime minister of Iraq.”
Tensions between Washington and Baghdad have built since Trump introduced a ban on Iraqis visiting the United States.
That measure was later frozen by the courts and after fierce lobbying from inside and outside the administration, Iraqis were excluded from his new travel ban unveiled Monday.
The Iraqi government hailed the country’s exemption as an “important step” that strengthens relations between Baghdad and Washington.
“The Iraqi foreign ministry expresses its deep satisfaction with the executive order issued by President Donald Trump which includes an exemption for Iraqis from the ban on travel to the United States of America,” spokesman Ahmad Jamal said

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
