Summary
11 attacks $700 million of U.S. funds to drop their pursuit of claims against the African country, according to two sources familiar with the negotiations.In response, lawyers for the 9/11 claimants said they wanted as much as $4 billion, a steep price the administration and Senate Republicans rejected, sources said.The negotiations, which have not been previously reported and continued late Friday, show the lengths to which the Trump administration is willing to go to save its deal with Sudan to normalize ties with the U.S. and Israel and compensate another group of American terror victims -- those killed and injured in the 1998 embassy bombings."This whole episode just shows you that everything was planned for an announcement, and now they're trying to reverse engineer an agreement based on what they announced," Cameron Hudson, a former State Department and CIA official, said of the administration.
