Syrian President Bashar al-Assad rebuked his US counterpart, Donald Trump, for his earlier intention to kill the Syrian leader, saying assassination is nothing new but rather a typical policy tool of America.
He was reacting to Trump’s open confession last month that he intended to have Assad assassinated after an alleged chemical attack in 2017 that Washington blamed on Damascus but reversed his decision due to purported opposition by the then-secretary of defense, James Mattis.
“Assassination is American modus operandi. That is what they do all the time — for decades, everywhere, in different areas in this world. This is not something new,” Assad said in an interview with Russia’s Sputnik published on Wednesday.
