US Urges End of UN Sanctions on Iraq
US President George W. Bush on Wednesday urged the United Nations to lift sanctions on Iraq following the toppling of President Saddam Hussein's government by US-led forces.

"Now that Iraq has been liberated, the United Nations should lift economic sanctions on that country," Bush said while addressing a rally in St. Louis, Missouri.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan, traveling with President Bush, made a similar appeal. "The United Nations should lift the economic sanctions on Iraq," he said.

McClellan stressed that the removal of the sanctions would facilitate the restoration of normal trading relationship between Iraq and the rest of the world as soon as possible.

The sanctions, including an oil embargo, were imposed by the United Nations following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
