It?s being announced only days after the Trump administration rolled out a revised travel ban affecting six mostly Muslim nations but exempting Iraq.
The coalition meeting will be held the same week Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is to visit with Trump at the White House.
The last meeting was at the policy director level in November in Berlin, while foreign ministers last gathering in Washington in July, according to one of the administration officials.
Foreign ministers from the coalition, as well as representatives of international organizations, are expected to meet March 22-23 to plan strategy for countering the terror group, said the officials, who requested anonymity because the plans aren?t yet public.
President Donald Trump?s administration is inviting a 68-nation coalition fighting Islamic State to meet in Washington later this month to plan their next moves as the group loses ground in its former strongholds in Iraq and Syria, according to two administration officials.
