Trump Officials Meet With Hafter Representative in Libya Shift
State Dept says talks are part of 'broad outreach'
Jason Ditz
The US position on Libya is not entirely clear, as President Trump has talked up Hafter having a substantial future role in Libya, while other officials have demanded Hafter stop attacking the capital, and back the Libyan unity government.
The meetings with Nayed are raising yet more speculation that the US is about to bail on the Tripoli government in favor of Hafter, a former CIA asset with broad support among certain US allies.
The State Department, however, are being typically vague about US intentions, saying the talks are just part of the “broad outreach” the US is engaged in and declining any comments beyond that.
