Smoke raises behind an Islamic State flag after Iraqi security forces and Shiite fighters took control of Saadiya in Diyala province from Islamist State militants, November 24, 2014. Iraqi forces said on Sunday they retook two towns north of Baghdad from Islamic State fighters, driving them from strongholds they had held for months and clearing a main road from the capital to Iran. There was no independent confirmation that the army, Shi'ite militia and Kurdish peshmerga forces had completely retaken Jalawla and Saadiya, about 115 km (70 miles) northeast of Baghdad. Many residents fled the violence long ago. At least 23 peshmerga and militia fighters were killed and dozens were wounded in Sunday's fighting, medical and army sources said.

--FILE--Flags of China and the United States are pictured in Ji'nan city, east China's Shandong province, 4 June 2018.China on Tuesday (19 June 2018) urged the United States to be more rational concerning the ongoing trade issue and to stop undermining the interests of others as well as itself. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a question on U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent speech at the Detroit Economic Club. According to reports, Pompeo blamed China's economic and trade policy for the trade issue in his speech Monday and said the United States will respond to "protect American property." "The spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce has already declared China's solemn position on the economy and trade," said Geng, pointing out that the U.S. has confused right and wrong and the purpose of the accusation is to disguise its unilateralism and protectionism policy.No Use China. No Use France.
