Donald Trump intends to lift sanctions on Syria: "We will give Syria a chance to recover"

US President Donald Trump has announced his intention to lift sanctions on Syria. He made this known in his speech at the International Investment Forum in Saudi Arabia.

“I have decided to lift the sanctions imposed on Syria so that they can once again take a step towards recovery and greatness,” the US leader said in his speech.

According to President Trump, before making this important decision, he consulted with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the current situation in Syria and took their opinions into account.

It should be recalled that the Bashar al-Assad regime fell in December 2024. The former Syrian leader fled to Russia, where Moscow granted him political asylum. After Assad, Ahmed al-Sharrah was appointed as the country's interim president.

According to reports, Donald Trump's visit to the Middle East is his first major official foreign trip since his second term as US president, during which he plans to meet personally with the new Syrian leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa.

According to Axios, Trump aims to give new impetus to the processes of stability and economic recovery in the Middle East with these steps. The lifting of sanctions is expected to serve to restore peace and stability in Syria, as well as to develop the country's economic infrastructure.

According to international analysts, this decision by the US is an important historical event for Syria and the entire Middle East, which can help improve relations between the countries of the region and expand international economic cooperation. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
