President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he plans to lift sanctions on Syria following the fall of the Assad regime, which he said will “give them a chance at greatness,” APA reports citing CNN.
Trump said in remarks to a Saudi investment forum that he made the decision after discussing it with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as well as Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
“Syria, they’ve had their share of travesty, war, killing in many years. That’s why my administration has already taken the first steps toward restoring normal relations between the United States and Syria for the first time in more than a decade,” he said, noting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to meet with Syria’s foreign minister in Turkey “later this week.”
