Introduction Of Trump

According to a White House official, the two leaders discussed a potential thaw in U.S.-Syria relations, with It urging al-Sharaa to consider joining the Abraham Accords—a U.S.-brokered agreement aimed at normalizing ties between Arab nations and Israel.
The encounter came just one day after It announced the United States would lift sanctions on Syria, a move that drew both praise and scrutiny. Speaking in Riyadh on Tuesday, Trump framed the decision as a chance for Syria to rejoin the international community.
“I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness,” Trump declared, drawing a standing ovation from the audience.
The White House later confirmed that the lifting of sanctions had been a key request from Syria’s interim leadership and is seen as a first step toward broader normalization efforts.
Washington’s exploration of improved relations with Damascus signals a potentially major shift in U.S. foreign policy, particularly if Syria agrees to join the Abraham Accords—a development that could reshape regional dynamics in the Middle East.
