The US, UK, Italy and Japan say they will pull their troops out of Iraq, if asked by a new Iraqi government.
The four countries made their position clear following a meeting of the Group of Eight (G8) foreign ministers.
It is the first time the members of the coalition have said what would happen if the new Iraqi government told them to pull out their troops.

"I'm not losing any sleep over it," he said.
But he added that US would withdraw its soldiers if requested to do so.
