Trump said he would remove all sanctions against Syria, saying they had served an important function, but it was now time for Syria to move forward.

“I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness,” Trump told an investment forum in Riyadh.

“It’s their time to shine. We’re taking them all off,” Trump said, “Good luck Syria, show us something very special.”

Sharaa was for years the leader of al Qaeda’s official wing in the Syrian conflict, before he severed ties with the global jihadist network in 2016.

    My chud family member thinks current Syrian government bad because targeting Christians (that’s the only reason, literally nothing else, she thinks Muslims should be forcefully expelled from the “West”), I wonder if they’ll change their mind now that their king and savior Donald Trump is normalizing relations.
