NEW: In a last-minute pitch to save a deal with Sudan, the Trump administration offered to pay victims of the Sept. 11 attacks $700 million of U.S. funds to drop their pursuit of claims against the African country, according to two sources.

"This whole episode just shows you that everything was planned for an announcement, and now they're trying to reverse engineer an agreement based on what they announced," Cameron Hudson, a former State Department and CIA official, said of the administration."That's now how international diplomacy works."

There is also pressure in Khartoum, where a fragile power-sharing government is trying to steer the country out of 30 years of oppressive rule by Omar al-Bashir, the strongman forced out last year by mass demonstrations. The transitional government is struggling to deal with high inflation, food and fuel shortages, political instability, and now COVID-19 -- desperate for U.S. and international investment.

"All our 9/11 clients are asking for is preservation of their ability to prove their claims in court and, when they receive judgments, to be able to enforce those judgments under the law," said Dennis Pantazis, the lead attorney for a group of 9/11 widows.

How about doing some honest both sides reporting Hunter Biden Do you know who he is?

realDonaldTrump trying to buy people off to make himself look good.

Good

What about the money needed in his own country?

Trump is insane

Trump is so damn crooked and repulsive .

Will he pay this bill? He never paid any one else.

It’s sad that we weren’t willing to offer this money to victims unless it benefited a foreign nation.

Administration is 100% Messy!

What happens with the stimulus? And still today there were 1000's morons rallying for him. Some of them unemployed,with no money to pay their rent or put food on their tables rallying for him. So you support a man that give your money to others but not to the people in USA? 🤔

Is that coming from his own pocket, or from the USA citizen?

He can’t even get a stimulus package passed so why would he pay them $7 billion

what did you have to say when your boy Obama handed BILLIONS to Iran along with giving the license to develop a nuclear bomb....And we got nothing !

Negotiations were going pretty well until Trump insisted that they sign an NDA.

How do you say quid pro quo.

realDonaldTrump senatemajldr but we can’t pass stimulus for Americans

ABSOLUTELY NO! I AM SUBSTANTIVE JURISDICTIONAL KING OF SPAIN AND US KING JUSTICE. I want to deal with AFRICAN affairs myself I am their SUBSTANTIVE KING. I CAN DO BETTER TO START realDonaldTrump IS OUT OF JURISDICTION, NEXT I DECREE PAYMENT OF TEN MILLION DOLLARS PER CLAIM. KZ

Treat the poor people

How about the real story. Trumpkin is still hoping for a Nobel. That is it morons.

Can Americans get some of that money please? It’s not Trump’s money to give away.

Huh....but you can't pass a stimulus bill realDonaldTrump evil

Jesus said If you me ask anything in my name, I will do it. Ask in jesus name that Joe Biden not ever become president of the United States.

Yeah draining the swamp with bribery

Face It: MAGA is and was designed by Donald J Trump to promote division in America and to split Americans into rival groups while covering up his quest to make USA a one party state like Russia & other dictatorships. Facts are in as his followers remain in a fairy tale world.

What has Sudan to do with 9/11?

Treason; Corruption; Fraud; Sedition: And i’m sure there are many more. 40 or more years jail at least.

Too little Too late

You pay out of all the money you have laundered and all the fraudulent transactions using international banks. DB!!!!!!!!

It doesn’t work that way. We were asked by all the remaining Holocaust survivors. realDonaldTrump - try and see if you can see the pain in their eyes? See if you heard their plea to Hope.

Rotten bastards

Glad to hear that the 9/11 families are getting their claims settle.

So WE would pay OURSELVES Craziness.

This HAS to be a criminal offense.

More people die under trump everyday from Covid than ever did on 9-11 and he couldn’t care less, pay attention less or do less.

To All Democrats turn on Fox News now! Friday night at 6 pm! Important!

And senatemajldr and RandPaul want the relief to be small while realDonaldTrump wants $700mil to aid his Nobel nomination?

A payoff instead of justice. Sounds just like trump.

Trump protecting fellow terrorist and costing the American tax payer 700 million.

Bogus. He doesn’t control the purse strings. Why would anyone believe anything the biggest liar ever says

Again, no one gives a shit about Sudan. It’s Covid, unemployment, national debt, healthcare, the environment, infrastructure, etc.

Trump must owe someone a big favor in Sudan to want to cut a deal like that.

TRAITOR trump at work again!

Old news.

I am so tired of his shady dealings. 😡 & notice the article says Senate republicans knew...why didn’t anyone else know. BC THIS 💩 IS WRONG!!!

Why can’t Americans receive $1200 relief checks?

President Grifter

Oooooh, $700 million of TRUMP funds! He’s doing like he did with his presidential salary...

Huh?

Can this idiot do anything right ?

Wow out of control

Money isn't everything

But but he cares about Americans...NOT!

What was in it for him?

But won’t give American people relief, so glad he’s gone

Its a good idea. You can't have individuals in the US conducting business with a foreign country. They'll get themselves killed

What an ass!

All a big fat lie.

January 20th. 2021 Can't Come Fast Enough! This Man Is A Piece Of Sh*t! He's Sabotaging This Country!💖💕

Wait... We can't get a fucking pandemic bill for struggling americans, but he is going to give money to people in another country?!?

What's missed is the President can't appropriate funds and he definitely shouldn't be trying to use taxpayers money to payoff another's countries obligations.

Can't wait until January 20th at 12-noon CST! I took it off to see a REAL president sworn in! Bah bye realDonaldTrump and HELLO JoeBiden !!!

I’m no fan of the African nation and their brutal governments, but a deal with Donald Trump and Israel is fools gold..

Bribes is all he knows and he's cheap 4B is a lot more than 700M that is what they want 👉RUSSIA just signed a deal to build a Naval Base in Sudan of all places recently his way to get the US off their backs ...Always a side issue with trump

pallets of cash

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

always with someone else’s money this guy

the art of the deal

Ohhhhh I get it! THIS is how he ran his businesses into the ground! Makes sense Now.

But not a penny for US citizens.

The Art of the Grift....

This is a bizarre deal. Sudan had nothing to do with 9/11. Bin Laden had family in Boston at the time of the attacks and he’s been to the US but we don’t blame the state of Massachusetts for 9/11. Trump makes another deal of minimal value.

Ok

What? Have we gone nuts?

Senate? Hello?

My children’s school is closing because of lack of funding 🤬

Breaking news- no one believes ABC or MSM with their anonymous sources wrong app the time !

He's the PAYOFF president....

Only Donald Trump will be the first former president of the United States to flee the country because of your federal and state crimes you have committed against all of us....I'm sleeping so much better knowing that Trump will be going to jail very soon.

He needs his cut...

Trump really is insane

This isn’t a “deal”, this is extortion!

But we can't spend anymore money on Stimulus according to the right.

At least with Iran, we gave them back their own money.

トランプは平和主義者。 バイデンは…失言とセクハラだらけ のロリコン。来年から大丈夫?🪖

Spends taxpayer money pretty freely!

Well it’s not his personal money so 😢😢😢😂

Just stop it!

Anonymous sources?

The art of the dealer 😂😂 bet u never seen such negotiations

Just when you thought all the fuckery was known. I got 2050 on when the last of his bullshit is discovered and fixed.

This is not the tv show “let’s make a deal” and he’s not Bob Barker!This is not how American Presidents deal with foreign leaders!Trump’s concept of dealing with foreign dignitaries is based on the tv fantasy world.But, this is the real world!Trump is an imitation POTUS, a clown!

Let deal collapse!Trump’s trying some last minute show boating! He’s no deal maker,just a ring master in his world of clowns!Joe Biden may cancel any deal Trump makes and make an equable settlement if one is in order!Never make a deal with the Devil,or Trump!You Can’t trust him!

I think this must pass the congress.

Trump selling out Americans on his way out the door.

What does Sudan have to do with 9/11? From 19 attackers 14 were from Saudi Arabia. But we didn’t do anything to them because Saudi Arabia is our friend.

QuidProQuo ?

Name them sources.. under aferdavits.. nope? Didnt think so... unlike those under aferdavits in the electuon fraud

Hey don't forget us covid 19 people who have lost their jobs.

Goodbye Orange man.

Not news — he’s an insane and dangerous freak.

There's good reason to try to normalize relations. It's the only chance for stopping or at least slowing the killing. I hope this works out.

People without a mental health background don’t understand what you are dealing with in the case off person with a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder.This is a serious disturbing condition. A person with this problem should never be making any decisions and monitored

Wasn’t it Saudi Arabia?

Republicans must be furious!!! Oh wait, it’s trump, so the cult is ok with it. Who’s the sheep now

He spends my money like a drunk sailor. Can't wait for him to go! You're fired dump trump, move on. America can't stand you.
