Trump photo with Syrian leader, President al-Sharaa, and Prince Salman, after Trump lifted sanctions on Syria.
These kinds of meetings & photos have been compared to Churchill shaking hands with Stalin. And who knows when Trump may be celebrating peace in Ukraine, by shaking hands with Putin. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Seems the lifting of sanctions against Syria has much more support than your source mentions. (perhaps as it's a $$ site) More inclusive views & reports include CNN & others: Headlines: Trump announces plan to lift punishing sanctions on Syria Click Here What would lifting US sanctions on Syria mean to the war-torn country? Click Here Experts react: Trump just announced the removal of all US sanctions on Syria. Click Here Recall that Syria's former leader, Assad, who pushed Syria's own civil war as well as military interference in Lebanon is now gone. And the country's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has been aligning with the peaceful mid-eastern countries, including Saudi Arabian officials. Its very apparent that humanitarian benefits would be promoted from lifting the punishing sanctions which had begun in 1979, and were made more strict in 2003 and 2019. Removal will help restore access to fuel, essential medicines, supplies, and equipment. Both the UK and the European Union have lifted some, but not all, of their sanctions on Syria earlier this year. Two senators from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — Repub. Jim Risch and Dem. Jeanne Shaheen — had encouraged the lifting before Trump’s trip. Lifting the sanctions would help Syrian interests become more aligned with the US and with other peace-loving allied middle-eastern nations. And thus, the waring factions of Iran would become more isolated. Seems this could become another positive step in international affairs for Trump. PS Sites that charge bucks should be nixed here, IMO. Try for alternatives.
