Assad Calls Trump “Best US President” Ever For “Transparency” Of Real US Motives<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Arguably some of the most significant events since the eight-year long war’s start have played out in Syria with rapid pace over just the last month alone, including Turkey’s military incursion in the north, the US pullback from the border and into Syria’s oil fields, the Kurdish-led SDF’s deal making with Damascus, and the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. All of this is why a televised interview with President Bashar Assad was highly anticipated at the end of this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assad’s commentary on the latest White House policy to “secure the oil” in Syria, for which US troops have already been redeployed to some of the largest oil fields in the Deir Ezzor region, was the biggest pressing question. The Syrian president’s response was unexpected and is now driving headlines, given what he said directly about Trump, calling him the “best American president” ever \u2013 because he\u2019s the “most transparent.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>\u201cWhen it comes to Trump you may ask me a question and I\u2019ll give you an answer which might seem strange. I tell you he\u2019s the best American president,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Assad said, according to a\u00a0translation<\/a>\u00a0provided by NBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy? Not because his policies are good, but because he is the most transparent president,\u201d <\/strong>Assad continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll American presidents commit crimes and end up taking the Nobel Prize and appear as a defender of human rights<\/strong> and the \u2018unique\u2019 and \u2018brilliant\u2019 American or Western principles. But all they are is a group of criminals who only represent the interests of the American lobbies of large corporations in weapons, oil and others,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
