Trump Lifts Syria Sanctions, Secures Trillions in Middle East Investments
Trump announces the end of sanctions on Syria and signs a $300 billion deal with Saudi Arabia during his Middle East tour.
Strategic Deals in Riyadh
During his first Middle East visit after reelection, President Donald Trump declared the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Syria. The announcement came amid a lavish welcome in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Trump also secured a $300 billion investment deal, with aims to double the figure within four years.
Normalization Push and Iran Warning
Trump urged Saudi Arabia to normalize diplomatic ties with Israel, despite ongoing Gaza conflict. He also issued a stern ultimatum to Iran, threatening “maximum pressure” if Tehran continues its nuclear ambitions.
Rebuilding Syria with a New Vision
Trump is scheduled to meet Syria’s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who proposed a Marshall Plan-style reconstruction. The plan invites U.S. and Western companies to rebuild Syria and counter China’s regional influence.
High-Stakes Diplomacy
The tour will conclude in the U.A.E., which pledged $1.4 trillion in investments into the U.S. Trump will also visit Doha for high-level talks with the Qatari Emir, focusing on energy cooperation and strategic alliances.
