The U.S.
military is not in Iraq "to seize anybody's oil", Defense Secretary
Jim Mattis said, distancing himself from remarks by President Donald Trump
before arriving on an unannounced visit to Baghdad on Monday.
"I think all of us here in this room, all
of us in America have generally paid for our gas and oil all along and I'm sure
that we will continue to do so in the future," Mattis told a small group
of reporters traveling with him as he discussed his objectives for the trip.
"We're
not in Iraq to seize anybody's oil."
