In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.

00:00I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness.
00:30Likewise in Syria, which has seen so much misery and death,
00:54there is a new government that will hopefully succeed in stabilizing the country and keeping peace.
01:02That's what we want to see in Syria.
01:04They've had their share of travesty war, killing many years.
01:11That's why my administration has already taken the first steps toward restoring normal relations
01:17between the United States and Syria for the first time in more than a decade.
01:54And I'm very pleased to announce that Secretary Marco Rubio will be meeting with the new Syrian foreign minister in Turkey later this week.
02:11And very importantly, after discussing the situation in Syria with the crown prince, your crown prince.
02:18And also with President Erdogan of Turkey, who called me the other day and asked for a very similar thing,
02:32among others and friends of mine, people that I have a lot of respect for in the Middle East.
02:37I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness.
03:19The sanctions were brutal and crippling and served as an important, really an important function, nevertheless, at the time, but now it's their time to shine.
03:41It's their time to shine. We're taking them all off, and they're going to have, I think they're going to have haste in the people and the spirit and everything else that I'm hearing about.
03:51So I say good luck, Syria. Show us something very special like they've done, frankly, in Saudi Arabia, okay?
03:58They're going to show us something special. Very good people.
04:00Everywhere we can, my administration is pursuing peaceful engagement, offering a strong and steady hand of friendship to all that will take it in good faith.
04:12Together, we have made unprecedented strides and tremendous progress, and we're still just at the dawn of the bright new day that awaits for the people of the Middle East, the great, great people of the Middle East.
