Trump said to offer $700 million to 9/11 victims to salvage Israel-Sudan deal
[IsraelTimes] Talks are ongoing to save agreement as Sudan pushes for removal from US terror list and future protection from victim lawsuitsThe Trump administration reportedly offered victims of the 9/11 terror attacks some $700 million to drop their claims against Sudan as part of an effort to save an agreement that would see the African country normalize ties with Israel in exchange for a removal of Sudan from the US’s list of state sponsors of terrorism. Lawyers for the 9/11 claimants asked for $4 billion, a price the administration and Senate Republicans rejected, according to an ABC News report on Friday citing sources familiar with the negotiations. The talks are ongoing, ABC News said. Posted by: trailing wife 2020-12-13 |
