A new diplomatic and military policy for Libya that could significantly expand US involvement in the country could be finalized by the Trump administration in the next few weeks, according to two US officials.
The policy, if approved, would aim to further the existing US goal of supporting reconciliation between rival factions in eastern and western areas of Libya. The policy could also lead to the eventual re-opening of the US embassy and the establishing of a new intelligence sharing effort led by US special forces, according to the officials.

Does this deserve a “what could go wrong”?
If we agree to that there had better be a LOT of oil to back it up. Isn’t our SPR (Strategic Oil Reserves at 70%)?
Most Trumpers didn’t vote for more of the USA playing an indebted policeman of the world that sacrifices our own military and needs and border security to make the MIC richer. MAGA.
Sigh....
Mad Dog Mattis is more and more like John McCain with every passing day.
CNN is such a valid and truthful source of good intel!
Yep. America First. But we appear to be rolling along the same old path. I don’t think it will change until after the collapse.
Yeah, right. More unsourced and unverified fake news.
Yes, CNN again. It might be fake news.
`Trump to delare end of nation-building’

Think back to President Reagan where Libya meant

Too bad McCain, and not Trump, is in charge of the military.
Uh no.
30,000 feet and no boots on the ground.
Learn from past mistakes. Play from a position of strength, but do NOT go down to their level.
P.S. Send McNasty in first on a fact-finding mission.
I’m just citing what Trump said. Remember, this is CNN talking. There’s a storm if disinformation out there and the Communist News Network is behind a lot of it.
I’m still puzzled why the Obama/Clinton had Khaddafy assassinated in the first place.
There is no doubt - it split and destroyed Libya, created a jihadi haven, and opened the floodgates for millions of Africans to leave for Europe.
The same, effectively, was done to Iraq (and attempted in Egypt and Syria).
Europe should be the one to do it. They’re the one being overrun with boat people. Thanks Hillary. There’s always Khadafy’s son.
Quadaffi had billions in gold and was preparing to back his currency, the dinar, with gold to replace the dollar and euro as the currency of Africa. (Most currencies there are currently based on the dollar or euro).
The gold disappeared. A lot of the migrants to Europe go through Libya to get to Europe as well.
