Assad: Donald Trump is the best US President

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said that US President Donald Trump is the “best US president” so far in his opinion because he is honest about American intentions to grab Arab oil.

Report informs citing the TASS that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad spoke in an interview to Syrian satellite TV channels El-Ihbariye and Syria.

"He is not a good president because of his policies, but because he is the most transparent. Various American presidents have made political mistakes and crimes, and received a Nobel Prize for it."

"Trump says 'we want oil', 'we want to get rid of a certain person', 'we want to provide a service in exchange for money' and that is the truth. This is US policy. What is better than a transparent enemy?" he added.
