Trump's resource diplomacy comes to Libya
Trump's administration is brokering a power-sharing deal between Libya's rival leaders Khalifa Haftar and Abdul Hamid al-Dbeibah to end the country's 15-year conflict. Critics argue the deal prioritizes short-term stability and U.S. oil interests over a long-term political resolution, with Trump adviser Massad Boulos facilitating negotiations between the factions.
