Meanwhile, the Trump regime has frozen funding for Syria's White Helmets, the humanitarian group that rescues people from Assad's slaughter house.

It's not mentioned in ABC's story, but the White Helmets have been targeted by Assad, Putin, and even useful idiots and conspiracy theorists (on the left and right) here in the US. They say the White Helmets, which are equivalent to our Red Cross, are responsible for chemical attacks, not Assad.

“It looks like it’s a matter of time before they’re going to shut all of us down.” [...]

“Companies that have been relying on this system for 25 years suddenly have no workers,” said Bill Seiling, director of the Chesapeake Bay Seafood Industries Association. “It’s totally unfair and irrational, really.”
