"Yes,
from a Western perspective, you are now sitting with the devil. This
is how they market it in the west," Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad told teleSUR's Rolando Segura in an exclusive interview from
Damascus, addressing a range of subjects including claims of chemical
attacks as well as the shifting geopolitical alignments impacting the
war which has ravaged his country.
Speaking on
the subject of Donald Trump, the Syrian leader said the U.S.
president "has no policies," but is rather
implementing decisions made by "the intelligence agencies,
the Pentagon, the big arms manufacturers, oil companies, and
financial institutions."
"As
we have seen in the past few weeks, he changed his rhetoric
completely and subjected himself to the terms of the deep American
state, or the deep American regime," Assad said.
Despite
running on a platform promising a departure from the interventionist
foreign policy of predecessor Barack Obama, Trump launched 59
tomahawk missiles on the al-Shariat air base in Homs on April 6 in
response to allegations of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian
government — claims which Syria's leader denies.
"That’s
why it is unrealistic and a complete waste of time to make an
assessment of the American president’s foreign policy, for he might
say something; but he ultimately does what these institutions dictate
to him. This is not new. This has been ongoing American policy for
decades."
