President of the United States, Donald Trump
US media revealed that President Donald Trump offered to pay 700 million dollars to those affected by the September 11 attacks to push them to abandon their demands against Sudan.
The “ABC” channel, in a report published on Friday, quoted two sources familiar with the negotiations on the issue, confirming that this offer came in a desperate attempt by the White House to rescue the agreement concluded last November with Sudan, but the lawyer for the victims of September 11, in return, demanded a compensation of four billion dollars, a massive sum rejected by the Trump administration and the Republicans in the Senate.
The channel noted that this topic is interesting, especially since Sudan was found guilty of harboring al-Qaeda members involved in the attacks on Washington’s embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, but no role was discovered for him in the September 11 attacks.
The channel reported that Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer and Bob Mendes have for several months obstructed the Trump administration’s efforts to restore Sudan’s sovereign immunity (or what is known as “legal peace”) and proposed, in turn, to strengthen lawsuits related to the September 11 attacks.
“ABC” said Congress is expected to postpone the session scheduled for next week on the draft resolution on restoring legal peace in Sudan, which threatens Trump’s plans to hold the signing ceremony of the normalization agreement between Sudan and Israel in the first week of next January.
