đź’¨ Abstract

During a Middle East visit, President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Syria, a significant policy shift that surprised some officials and was influenced by Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The move, part of a months-long dialogue, aims to stabilize the region and boost Syria's economy post-war. Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined the process, emphasizing gradual steps guided by Syrian compliance.
