Following the ban on oil and gas exports of Iraq's Kurdistan region, which was ordered on February 15 by the Iraq Supreme Court after it invalidated previous arrangements for the export of oil and gas of the region, US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf warned that economic repercussions might follow the decision due to the risk of US firms leaving the country and affect Iraq's business environment.

In a press conference, Leaf said that "Washington is quite concerned that rushing forward and implementing this decision [on oil and gas exports ban] risks driving US firms out of Iraq, other firms out of Iraq, which would be a terrible vote of no confidence in the business environment in Iraq and, frankly, could produce wider economic repercussions well beyond the Kurdish region of Iraq."
