(Seven-year-old) Refugee Bana Alabed begs Trump to save Syria's children

Source: CBS News

LONDON -- As the Trump Administration prepares to suspend new U.S. visas for people from countries including Syria, and to halt the current U.S. refugee program, the little Syrian girl who became a social media sensation for tweeting about the crisis in her native Aleppo is now pleading with Mr. Trump to help.

In a letter sent to the U.S. leader, that CBS News has seen a copy of, she tells Mr. Trump that “peace is important for everyone, including you.”

Seven-year-old Bana Alabed composed her open letter just days before Mr. Trump’s inauguration, reports CBS News correspondent Teri Okita, imploring him to help the young victims of the war in her homeland.

He doesn't care now about America's children. So he certainly has no capacity to care about foreign children, and especially those from Muslim countries.
