US combat troops will not stay on in Iraq after the fight against the Daesh group is over, Iraq's prime minister said on Friday - a statement that followed an Associated Press report on talks between Iraq and the United States on maintaining American forces in the country.

A US official and an official from the Iraqi government told the AP this week that talks about keeping US troops in Iraq were ongoing.

The US official emphasised that discussions were in early stages and that "nothing has been finalised." Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

In his statement, Haider Al Abadi emphasised that there are no foreign combat troops on Iraqi soil and that any American troops who stay on once Daesh militants are defeated will be advisers working to train Iraq's security forces to maintain "full readiness" for any "future security challenges."

While some US forces are carrying out combat operations with Iraqi forces on and beyond front lines in the fight against Daesh, Al Abadi has maintained that the forces are acting only as advisers, apparently to get around a required parliamentary approval for their presence.

Any forces who remained would continue to be designated as advisers for the same reason, the Iraqi government official had told the AP.

Regardless of how the troops are designated, talks about maintaining American forces in Iraq point to a consensus by both governments that a longer-term US. presence in Iraq is needed to ensure that an insurgency does not bubble up again once Daesh militants are driven out - a contrast to the full US withdrawal in 2011.
