It is reported by The New York Times, citing the statement of the White House.
It is noted that they discussed the "current efforts in the fight against terrorism and the need to achieve peace and stability in Libya."
"The president acknowledged the significant role of the marshal in the fight against terrorism and ensuring the safety of Libyan oil resources," the statement said.
It clarifies that Trump and Haftar also discussed a common vision of the transition of Libya to a stable and democratic political system.
On April 4, it became known that Haftar ordered the army to launch an attack on Tripoli, which is currently under the control of the Government of National Accord.
Head of the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the Russian University of Economics named after G.V. Andrei Koshkin Plekhanov, in an interview with PolitEkspert, stated that Haftar is positioning himself as a land collector and that taking Tripoli for him is the final stage in the process of achieving this goal.
