– The head of the office of the Kurdistan Region's presidency said the US government has not informed the region about any problems related to oil contracts between the region and oil giants.
Fuad Hussein said the region will continue in its oil policy and what it deems to be constitutional.

He said: "The US government has not informed the Kurdistan Regional Government of anything or hasn’t made any remark. If US had something they would discuss it."

Media outlets recently reported that the US Foreign Ministry warned that oil giants should deal with Iraqi government and not directly sign contracts with the Kurdistan Region, like as ExxonMobil, Chevron and Total did. Doing so would bring legal obstacles, said reports.

The region's Minister of Natural Resources Ashti Hawrami denied the news and said the story is baseless.
