The White House and the Central Intelligence Agency have declined to comment on reports that president Donald Trump has decided to end the CIA’s covert program of arming the so-called moderate rebels in Syria. US officials told the Washington Post (WP) and Reuters that Trump has decided to put an end to the covert CIA plan which began arming and training the so-called moderate Syrian rebels in 2013. Authorized by President Barack Obama, the secret Timber Sycamore weapons supply and training initiative has served as the backbone of Washington’s strategy to topple the Syrian President Bashar Assad. Two US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity with Reuters, said the covert CIA scheme has produced little results.
