The visit of Syria’s interim president to Washington has once again showcased the ambivalence of US counter-terrorism policy, which changes according to temporal interests   by Aseel Saleh Part 5 - Al-Sharaa offers extraction of Syria’s gas to become US ally Al-Sharaa also told Fox News that he discussed with Trump future investment opportunities in Syria, particularly the extraction of gas by the United States. “We talked about the investment opportunities in the future in Syria, so that Syria is no longer looked at as a security threat.

Ultimately, the segment portrays Venezuela as the next manufactured conflict in a long line of disastrous U.S. interventions driven by corporate profit and bipartisan corruption rather than national security.
