US May Work Out Oil Deal With Syria's Kurds
Trump first announced the possible deal last month, which would envisage withdrawing the troops that guard the oil reserves in Syria.
"We will make a determination. We will probably be dealing with the Kurds on the oil. We’ll see where it all ends up and will be out", the US president said.
The US troops, jointly with the Arab-Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces, maintain control over a part of northeastern Syria, concentrating around the oil and gas fields in the provinces of Al-Hasakah and Deir Ez-Zor.
The Syrian government has denounced the US presence there as a violation of its sovereignty and an illegal attempt to seize Syria's natural resources.
In August, State Secretary Mike Pompeo told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that a US oil firm had secured a deal to modernise oil fields in Syria. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an interview to Sputnik called it "the most outrageous breach of all possible principles of the international law".
Trump Administration Approves $14 Billion in COVID-19 Aid for Farmers
The Agriculture Department explained that financial assistance is provided to the farmers so that they can absorb the increased marketing costs associated with the pandemic.

This is the second round of aid for farmers approved by the Trump administration since the novel coronavirus hit the United States earlier in the year. The first round, totalling $19 billion, was rolled out in April, at the height of economic lockdowns to curb the pandemic.
