The US to Lift Sanctions on Syria
President Donald Trump announced the removal of all US sanctions on Syria during his speech at the US-Saudi Investment Forum in Riyadh. He expressed hope for Syria’s new government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, to stabilize the country after years of civil war and violence, stating the sanctions were “brutal and crippling” and no longer served a purpose. Trump emphasized that it is now Syria’s opportunity to thrive and encouraged the nation to demonstrate its potential, similar to Saudi Arabia’s progress.
