Al-Sharaa Seeks to Tempt U.S. Into Lifting Sanctions With 'Gift' of Trump Tower in Damascus: Report
- Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa aims to secure a meeting while U.S. President Donald Trump visits the Middle East in May 2025 to discuss easing sanctions and potential collaboration.
- This effort follows Syria's ongoing struggle with over a dozen U.S. Demands, including removing foreign fighters from the military, to qualify for sanctions relief amid a 14-year war.
- Sharaa’s pitch includes a business deal covering energy, counter-Iran cooperation, and detente with Israel, alongside symbolic proposals like a Trump Tower in Damascus.
- Jonathan Bass, a pro-Trump activist who spent four hours with Sharaa, expressed that involving Trump is crucial to resolving tensions, noting that efforts to push this agenda are actively underway.
- Despite indirect negotiations calming tensions with Israel, a Trump-Sharaa meeting remains widely seen as unlikely due to Trump's packed schedule and internal U.S. Policy divisions on Syria.
