US President Donald Trump declared the lifting of sanctions on Syria during a visit to Saudi Arabia, expressing hope for the new government’s success in stabilizing the nation after years of conflict. This decision is viewed as a significant step in ending Syria's international isolation, with celebrations erupting in Damascus. The lifting of sanctions is anticipated to provide economic relief and facilitate recovery after a decade-long war, marking a shift from historic US policies imposed on the previous regime due to its actions against citizens and international standing.
President Donald Trump stated he would lift sanctions against Syria to support the newly appointed government and encourage stability in the region. This gesture signals a hope for peace.
The US sanctions on Syria were extensive, stemming from Syria's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism since 1979, leading to significant restrictions that affected Syria’s economy.
