Trump says he’ll take Sudan off terror blacklist
US President Donald Trump says that he will remove Sudan from the blacklist of state sponsors of terrorism.
The move is seen as preceding a possible Israel-Sudan normalization deal — similar to those with Bahrain and UAE — though Trump does not mention Israel in his tweet.
GREAT news! New government of Sudan, which is making great progress, agreed to pay $335 MILLION to U.S. terror victims and families. Once deposited, I will lift Sudan from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. At long last, JUSTICE for the American people and BIG step for Sudan!
