In response to a question from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President Donald Trump mentioned on Monday that he is considering easing U.S. sanctions on Syria. Syria has been facing challenges in meeting the conditions set by the U.S. for sanctions relief, which have isolated the country from the global financial system and hindered economic recovery after years of conflict. Trump expressed the possibility of lifting sanctions on Syria to provide the country with a new beginning. He noted that many people have raised concerns about the current sanctions regime, which he believes has not been conducive to helping Syria get back on track. The President’s remarks were made during a press briefing.
