Donald Trump levanta las sanciones contra Siria

EL PAÍS

Estados Unidos levantará todas las sanciones que mantenía contra Siria, que Donald Trump ha definido como “brutales y devastadoras”. El anuncio lo ha hecho el presidente estadounidense en Riad, la capital saudí, donde este martes ha iniciado una gira regional en Oriente Próximo que lo llevará también a Qatar y a Emiratos Árabes Unidos (EAU). En ese contexto de distensión con Siria, Trump pretende mantener un breve contacto este miércoles con el nuevo líder sirio, el presidente interino Ahmed al Shara.

00:00And I'm very pleased to announce that Secretary Marco Rubio will be meeting with the new Syrian

00:06foreign minister in Turkey later this week, and very importantly, after discussing the

00:11situation in Syria with the crown prince, your crown prince,

00:16and also with President Erdogan of Turkey, who called me the other day and asked for a very

00:26similar thing. Among others and friends of mine, people that I have a lot of respect for in the

00:31Middle East, I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them

00:38a chance at greatness. Oh, what I do for the crown prince. The sanctions were brutal and crippling

00:51and served as an important, really an important function, nevertheless, at the time. But now

00:58it's their time to shine. It's their time to shine. We're taking them all off, and they're going to

01:03have, I think they're going to have, based on the people and the spirit and everything else that I'm

01:08hearing about. So I say, good luck, Syria. Show us something very special, like they've done,

01:14frankly, in Saudi Arabia. Okay? They're going to show us something special. Very good people.

01:19Everywhere we can, my administration is pursuing peaceful engagement, offering a strong and steady

01:26hand of friendship to all that will. Take it in good faith.
