Trump Requested $4bln from Saudi King over Syria, Report Says

A recent report suggests that US President Donald Trump asked Saudi King Salman for $4 billion to push ahead with its destructive and destabilizing policies in Syria.


The request by Trump was made in December in a phone conversation with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman.

According to the Washington Post on Friday, Trump had an idea he thought could hasten a US exit from Syria.

The White House wanted money from the kingdom and other nations to help rebuild and stabilize the parts of Syria that the US military and its local allies have liberated from Daesh, the newspaper reported.

The post-war goal was to “prevent Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Russian and Iranian partners from claiming the areas, or (Daesh) from regrouping, while US forces finish mopping up the militants.”
