"The two leaders agreed that the United States and Iraq will pursue a long-term partnership to decisively root out terrorism from Iraq and strengthen the Iraqi military and other key institutions," a White House readout from the talks said.

The two leaders agreed to promote a "broad-based political and economic partnership based in the Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA)," the bilateral agreement which has been the cornerstone of US support of Iraq since 2008.
