U.S. May Be Ramping Up Its Military and Diplomatic Roles in Libya
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Unnamed U.S. officials say the Trump administration may be planning to
significantly ramp up its military and diplomatic involvement in Libya.
The plan could include re-establishing a permanent U.S. presence in
Libya, which the U.S. has not had since it shuttered its embassy in
Tripoli in 2014. It could also include deploying a rotating team of U.S.
special operations troops to Libya.
