US Cancels Taif Sami Mohammed's Visa and Adds Her to Watchlist
During the Biden administration, the State Department called Taif Mohammed a 'front-line leader against corrupt practices'
The US State Department on Friday stated it had revoked the visa of former Iraqi finance minister Taif Mohammed after she was placed on the FBI's terrorism watchlist. In a statement, the State Department stated Ms Mohammed was no longer in the US. No additional details were provided about when or why she was put on the watchlist.
"Under President [Donald] Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, suspected terrorists will never be allowed to remain in the United States," the State Department stated. Ms Mohammed left her post as finance minister last month, having served since 2022. Her visa revocation marks a significant turnaround in her relations with the US.
During the administration of former president Joe Biden, the State Department called Ms Mohammed a "front-line leader against corrupt practices" who is known as the “Iron Woman”. In 2022, she was given the International Woman of Courage Award by then-secretary of state Anthony Blinken and Mr Biden's wife, Jill Biden. "A political independent, Ms Mohammed has been integral in preventing and deterring budget corruption in Iraq," the State Department stated at the time.
