U.S. President Donald Trump met with Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy as Washington announced plans to lift all sanctions on Syria and explore the possibility of normalizing relations with Damascus.
U.S. President Donald Trump held a meeting with Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia, where he confirmed that the U.S. would lift all sanctions on Syria, marking a notable shift in U.S. foreign policy. During the meeting, Trump also expressed that Washington was considering normalizing relations with Damascus.
This meeting took place prior to a summit between the U.S. and Gulf Arab countries. Trump confirmed his decision on Tuesday in Riyadh, stating that the lifting of sanctions represented a major policy change.
In addition to Trump, Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan joined the discussions, while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman participated virtually. According to Anadolu News Agency, Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressed Saudi Arabia’s support for Trump’s decision.
The move is seen as a significant boost for Sharaa, who has faced challenges in consolidating power after overthrowing former President Bashar al-Assad in December.
Trump’s visit to the Gulf region, the first of a four-day trip, also saw discussions on significant business deals, including a $600 billion investment commitment from Saudi Arabia to the U.S. and a $142 billion arms sale to the kingdom. Later, Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Qatar to meet with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and officials to discuss further investments.
