According to Wall Street Journal (WSJ), US officials said Washington has threatened warlord Khalifa Haftar with sanctions over his refusal to reopen oil exports.
Meanwhile, US officials hope sanctions could force Haftar, who is a US citizen as well as Libyan and a former CIA asset who used to live in exile in Virginia.
According to US property records, Haftar owns a $185,000 ranch and a $364,000 condo in Virginia, making him vulnerable to US sanctions, WSJ said.
