Trump now wants to make Syria great again
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the United States will lift sanctions on Syria “to give them a chance at greatness”—a stunning reversal of decades of U.S. foreign policy, made at the request of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The move comes ahead of Trump’s meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former rebel leader who took power after the fall of Bashar al-Assad. According to the White House, the two leaders will meet on Wednesday in Saudi Arabia.
“Syria, they’ve had their share of travesty, war, [and] killing in many years. That’s why my administration has already taken the first steps toward restoring normal relations between the United States and Syria for the first time in more than a decade,” Trump said during the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in Riyadh.
“I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness,” he continued. “It’s their time to shine. We’re taking them all off. Good luck, Syria, show us something very special.”
