💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump announced plans to lift sanctions on Syria and secured a $600 billion investment commitment from Saudi Arabia during his visit to the Gulf. The U.S. also agreed to sell Saudi Arabia a $142 billion arms package, described as the largest defense cooperation agreement in U.S. history. The move to lift sanctions on Syria was requested by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and aims to aid Syria's reconstruction after over a decade of civil war.
