Trump to lift Syria sanctions, give country a 'chance at peace'
Normalizing relations with the troubled nation could mean further and broader peace in the region.
Speaking before a crowd of investors, political figures, and business leaders in Riyadh on Tuesday, Trump followed through on previous hints that he would lift sanctions on Syria, adding that they served an important function at the time but that Syria should be given a "chance at peace."
“I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness,” Trump told an investment summit in Riyadh on Tuesday.
