US EditionTrump says will remove US sanctions on Syria
- At a Saudi investment conference in Riyadh in May 2025, President Donald Trump announced plans to relax U.S. Sanctions on Syria and work toward establishing diplomatic ties with the country's recently formed government.
- Trump’s declaration came after encouragement from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as well as Turkey’s leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during a period when Gulf nations were endorsing Damascus to serve as a counterweight to Iranian influence.
- Trump described the new Syrian government as one that will hopefully succeed and said the goal is to give Syria a chance at peace, marking a notable shift from past US policy.
- He signed a comprehensive deal with Saudi Arabia valued at $600 billion, encompassing energy, defense, and investment sectors, and expressed optimism that Saudi Arabia would recognize Israel and become part of the Abraham Accords in the near future.
- Trump’s moves create tension with longtime US ally Israel, which remains skeptical of Syria’s new government and warns against swift recognition, suggesting regional dynamics could further shift.
