**Syrians Celebrate as U.S. Sanctions Set to Be Lifted by President Trump**

Citizens express optimism about the future as economic recovery seems within reach.


The lifting of sanctions is seen as a pivotal moment for Syria's reconstruction efforts.


Syrians in Aleppo are filled with elation as President Trump announced plans to lift U.S. sanctions on the country. Following years of economic hardship stemming from over a decade of civil war, this change is expected to bring relief to the struggling populace. The promise of raised salaries, lower prices for essential goods, and improved access to electricity has sparked widespread hope throughout the nation.

Sami al-Hajj, a pharmacist from Aleppo, shared his perspective, stating that the lifting of sanctions would open new opportunities for families like his, alleviating fears for the future. Analysts agree that these sanctions have long hampered Syria’s ability to integrate into the global economy, adversely affecting banking transactions and international trade.

The announcement came during a speech in Saudi Arabia, where Trump also held a historic meeting with Ahmed al-Shara, Syria’s new president, who played a crucial role in ousting former leader Bashar al-Assad. This first meeting between U.S. and Syrian leaders in 25 years not only acknowledges al-Shara's authority but also sets the stage for potential diplomatic relations moving forward.

In a post-meeting statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt articulated Trump’s expectations for al-Shara, urging him to pursue peace with Israel, eliminate foreign terrorist elements in Syria, and strengthen collaboration with the U.S. to combat ISIS. Discussions were anticipated between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Syria's foreign minister to solidify details on these measures, highlighting a shift in diplomatic dynamics in the Middle Eastern region.
