U.S. President Donald Trump announced the complete removal of American sanctions on Syria during a speech delivered in Riyadh. The decision marks a significant shift in U.S. policy toward the war-torn nation.
“There is a new government in place in Syria, and we hope it will succeed in stabilizing the country and maintaining peace,” Trump stated. “Syria has endured enough disasters—years of war, destruction, and bloodshed. It is time to move forward.”
Trump added that his administration is taking the first steps toward normalizing relations between Washington and Damascus, describing it as a necessary step after years of conflict. “The Syrian people deserve a chance at rebuilding and peace,” he concluded.
