Bloomberg reported on Assad's attempts to contact the U.S. administration and Trump
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad tried to contact the current U.S. administration and U.S . President-elect Donald Trump. Bloomberg news agency reported on December 7 that.
"President Bashar al-Assad is making a last desperate attempt to stay in power, including through indirect diplomatic attempts to establish relations with the United States and President-elect Donald Trump," the agency wrote.
It is reported that the president of the Arab republic tried to convey to Washington through Saudi Arabia a proposal to end relations with alleged Iranian-backed militant groups in exchange for Western intervention to stop fighting in the republic.
In addition, the agency indicated that Assad was trying to notify Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban of the threat that Christians in Syria could face if militants seize power. The plan was for Orban to relay the information to Trump.
Earlier in the day, Trump urged the US not to intervene in Syria. According to him, Syrian militants are now preparing to take "serious steps to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad."
On November 29, the Syrian army launched a counteroffensive against the positions of the terrorist group's militants, who captured more than 20 settlements north and west of the city of Aleppo, and during the fighting liberated the city of al-Bakum. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi called the terrorists' activation part of the US plan amid Israel's defeat in Lebanon. At the same time, the White House denied its involvement in the events.
In turn, Britain, the United States, France and Germany called on all sides in Syria to de-escalate, and Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that Russia strongly condemns the terrorists' outburst and reminded that the Russian Armed Forces are operating in Syria at the request of the legitimate authorities in Damascus and are fighting back against terrorists.
