The recent announcement by US President Donald Trump to lift long-standing sanctions on Syria was met with hope and celebrations across the country. This potential change gives Syrians the chance to pursue economic recovery and stability after years of isolation. While the Syrian government views this as an opportunity for national reconstruction, the actual implementation of sanctions relief remains uncertain, with questions about the specifics and conditions of the relief, as well as its potential timing and effectiveness.
Syria's Foreign Ministry called the announcement a 'pivotal turning point' and a 'vital opportunity for Syria to pursue stability, self-sufficiency and meaningful national reconstruction.'
Julien Barnes-Dacey from the European Council on Foreign Relations cautioned that it remains uncertain if Trump's announcement will lead to actual sanctions relief, urging to see whether words translate into actions.
