Continuity of Agenda: Trump Administration White-Washes Bush-Obama-Biden-backed Al-Qaeda in Syria

“Just as has been the case throughout the Bush, Obama, and Biden administrations, President Trump will continue overseeing the use of extremist groups to advance US foreign policy objectives around the globe, including in the Middle East and specifically against the nation of Iran. President Trump’s lifting of sanctions on Syria and his normalization of the leader of a still US-listed terrorist organization demonstrates the vast disparity between President Trump’s rhetoric and the reality of what his administration is actually presiding over.” References: NEO - Continuity of Agenda: Trump Administration White-Washes Bush-Obama-Biden-backed Al-Qaeda* in Syria (May 29, 2025): https://journal-neo.su/2025/05/29/continuity-of-agenda-trump-administration-white-washes-bush-obama-biden-backed-al-qaeda-in-syria/ Reuters - Trump says US to lift Syria sanctions, secures $600 billion Saudi deal (May 14, 2025): https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-starts-gulf-visit-seeking-big-economic-deals-2025-05-13/ CSIS (YouTube) - Syria in the Gray Zone (time stamp at 14 minutes and 9 seconds) (Nov. 1, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/live/MFsFOS5Odno?si=EFUG5T6Mjw8edqSp&t=849 US State Department - Foreign Terrorist Organizations (accessed May 24, 2025): https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/ NYT - C.I.A.
