Trump pledges to end Sudan war, marking major shift in US stance

US President Donald Trump pledged Wednesday to intervene in Sudan’s brutal civil war after a request from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, marking a sharp shift for a conflict he admitted had been “off his charts” until now. Condemning “tremendous atrocities,” Trump said he would work with regional powers to push for an immediate halt to fighting that has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions since 2023.
