BEIRUT -- Syrian President Bashar Assad says the European Union should have no role in the reconstruction of Syria unless it changes its policy toward the Mideast country.
Assad says EU countries back opposition fighters who inflicted destruction on Syria and "they cannot destroy and build at the same time."
Assad also said President Donald Trump's campaign statements on fighting terrorism were "promising" but it's still early to "expect anything" on the ground.
