(Worthy News) – The Trump administration is trying to determine its long-term goals in eastern Syria as Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman visits the United States.
Since the visit of Saudi Gulf Affairs Minister Thamer al-Sabhan to eastern Syria in October, there have been hints that the kingdom could play a role in reconstruction efforts. Now The Washington Post has reported that US President Donald Trump asked the Saudi king in December for up to $4 billion in commitments to help rebuild eastern Syria.
The reports of the request come as the crown prince is in Washington. Khalid bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the US, tweeted on Tuesday that the visit “represents a continuation of the strategic cooperation and friendship between our two countries.” [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
