Trump is ready to free Sudan from terror list!

• At long last, JUSTICE for the American people and BIG step for Sudan!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

President Donald Trump said on Monday he was ready to remove Sudan from a US blacklist of state sponsors of terrorism, a major goal of Khartoum, after a compensation deal over past attacks.

"At long last, JUSTICE for the American people and BIG step for Sudan!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

Trump said that Sudan's year-old transitional government had agreed to a $335 million package to compensate US victims of attacks and their families. "Once deposited, I will lift Sudan from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list," Trump said.
Sudan is one of four nations branded by Washington as a state sponsor of terrorism along with Iran, North Korea and Syria - severely impeding economic development, with few major foreign investors willing to run afoul of US laws.

Sudan has been seeking for years to remove the designation, a legacy of former dictator Omar Al Bashir's welcome of Al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden in the 1990s.
