Trump allowed the CIA to use drones to combat terrorists

US President Donald Trump gave CIA the right to attack terrorists using drones. It is reported by Wall Street Journal with reference to sources in the presidential administration.

The publication notes that Trump canceled the restrictions imposed on the special service by Barack Obama by this decree. The administration of the previous head of state established a ban on the use of the CIA of their own drones in order to establish coordination between intelligence and the Pentagon.

WSJ found out that the CIA has already used new powers. At the end of February, the special service struck one of the leaders of al-Qaeda, but the Trump administration did not reveal that this operation was not a Pentagon, but the CIA.

At the end of February, Trump ordered to prepare a plan to combat ISIS within a month. During this period, the president demanded to find new partners for the coalition headed by the United States
