Aug.26 (UPI) — The Trump administration has angered the government in Sudan by asking for $330 million in exchange for removal from the U. S. blacklist of nations that sponsor terrorism. U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo proposed the exchange during a visit to Khartoum on Tuesday. It was the first visit to Sudan by an American secretary of state since 2005. Pompeo said the money would be compensation for victims of al-Qaida terrorist attacks, which include the bombings at U. S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. The United States says Sudan had provided a safe haven for al-Qaida operatives.
