Trump's Historic Meeting and Sanctions Lift on Syria

In a historic meeting, President Donald Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Schaara in Riyadh, marking the first U.S.-Syria leadership encounter in 25 years. This meeting follows Trump's announcement to lift longstanding U.S. sanctions on Syria, a move that has sparked hope among Syrian business owners like Rasin Katta.

These sanctions were initially imposed due to the Assad regime's actions during the civil war. Trump's decision aims to rebuild Syria and normalize regional relations, including urging Syria to recognize Israel.

The meeting also discussed the management of detention camps in Syria and anti-terrorism efforts. Saudi Arabia and Turkey have played significant roles in facilitating this diplomatic re-engagement.

Despite regional complexities, Trump's sanctions lift is seen as a crucial step towards Syria's economic stability and recovery after years of conflict.
