Syria’s Sharaa holds phone call with Trump, Syrian presidency says
On Sunday, Syrian President Ahmed held a phone call with President Donald Trump to discuss bolstering Syria's economy and regional dynamics, with both parties agreeing on continued coordination for security and stability.
Sharaa emphasized that lifting remaining sanctions is essential for economic rejuvenation and attracting investment, though The United States maintains measures targeting President Assad and regional destabilizers despite repealing the Caesar Act.
Several Saudi firms and Gulf states have pledged substantial financial support for Syria's recovery, while The United States is reviewing Syria's status as a state sponsor of terrorism, which restricts defense exports and financial transactions.
Trump confirmed that Tom Barrack will remain as Special Presidential Envoy, while Sharaa emphasized the importance of prioritizing regional diplomacy to prevent further escalation in the region.
Washington says sanctions will continue to target Captagon traffickers, human rights abusers, and Assad's associates, keeping these measures in place to prevent regional destabilization and ensure stability.
