💨 Abstract

Donald Trump's Middle Eastern tour, highlighted by a meeting with Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, has raised significant geopolitical challenges and opportunities. Trump lifted U.S. sanctions on Syria, hoping for stability and to address extreme civilian suffering, despite concerns over al-Sharaa's past affiliations with Al Qaeda. This decision, backed by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, aims to prevent further instability and foreign influence.
