White House says Trump calls Libyan commander pushing to seize Tripoli

Acting U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said "a military solution is not what Libya needs." He said he supported Haftar's "role in counterterroism" and that Washington needed Haftar's "support in building democratic stability there in the region."

For now. Keep your wits about you, Haftar.

"ongoing counterterrorism efforts"

Unfortunately determining which groups are terrorists and which counterterrorists is in the eyes of whichever nation - or oil corporation - is financing them.

Post NATO invasion, the world's oil corporations are once again paying others to kill each other so they can continue keeping the globe dependent on burning huge amounts of oil and gas.

No more wars for oil and gas nabobs (and their 'financiers'). Develop alternatives!

He’s got all the oil but trump backed puppet U.N. govt. too late, China and Russia got there first.

"..role in fighting terrorism and securing Libya’s oil resources, and the two discussed a shared vision for Libya’s transition to a stable, democratic political system". In other words, the US will install a puppet and take the oil resources. This is no different than what the US has done around the globe and the reason there is so much global instability.

@rip. There is no global insecurity if you live in a gated community in Florida.

The country has been gripped by anarchy since Muammar Gaddafi was toppled in 2011.

This has a lot to do with the Obama administration's foreign policy.
