Trump Welcomes Syrian Leader & “REFORMED” TERRORIST To White House! (Jimmy Dore)

President Donald Trump is planning a White House welcome for Syria’s new president, former al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who was installed after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Jimmy argues that the U.S. and its allies, including Israel, have long funded extremist groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda to serve foreign policy interests in the Middle East, so the embrace of al-Sharaa makes sense, even if it might confuse anyone who thought we took seriously the so-called “War on Terror.”

He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger contrast Trump’s willingness to meet with alleged terrorists to his refusal to engage in dialogue with leaders like Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, accusing U.S. policy of hypocrisy and imperialism.



Trump's inability to remove US troops from the vital oil producing region of Syria helped to bankrupt the Syrian Government and led to its downfall. Where is Tusli Gabbard in all of this as someone who was outspoken against the proxy war waged against Syria? The only good aspect about this meeting would be to make a deal so that the terrorist Government stops killing other Syrians.
