Trump Lifts ‘Brytal’, ‘Crippling’ Syria Sanctions | Trump Unlocks Syria’s Economy After Years Of War

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. #SyriaSanctions #TrumpSyria #SanctionsLifted #TrumpMiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #SyriaNews #TrumpNews #DonaldTrump #SyriaCrisis #TrumpAdministration #AssadFall #Damascus #HTS #PostWarSyria #MiddleEastPolitics #CaesarAct #SanctionsRelief #USPolicyShift #BreakingNews #HistoricMove Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-is-new-syrian-regime-hunting-down-and-killing-alawites-amid-escalating-sectarian-violence-in-cou-4090547.html?ref=DMDesc Syria On Boil: Over 1,000 Dead As Alawite Minority Targeted In 'Revenge Killings' By Current Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syria-on-boil-over-1-000-dead-as-alawite-minority-targeted-in-revenge-killings-by-current-regime-4090369.html?ref=DMDesc

‘TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!’ | Trump to fire-off Tariff THREAT Letters to 12 Countries with 10-70% Tariffs

President Donald Trump is set to send “take-it-or-leave-it” tariff warning letters to 12 nations as trade talks stall and a July 9 deadline looms. The White House confirms tariffs could rise to as high as 70% if no deals are reached. With only the UK and Vietnam finalizing limited agreements, Trump is abandoning talks in favor of direct ultimatums. Allies are stunned, and global markets brace for a trade shock that could disrupt supply chains and trigger economic retaliation. #Trump #TradeWar #Tariffs #GlobalEconomy #DonaldTrump #USTradePolicy #BreakingNews #WhiteHouse #TariffThreat #TrumpUltimatum #70PercentTariffs #TradeNegotiations #EconomyAlert #SupplyChainCrisis #GlobalTrade #TrumpLetters #July9Deadline #HardlinePolicy #USAllies #TradeRetaliation #UKTradeDeal #VietnamTradeDeal #TariffEscalation #TrumpTradeDeal #AmericaFirst #AgricultureTrade #NonTariffBarriers Also Read America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc How Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Tax Bill Could Benefit Indians Living in the US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-donald-trump-big-beautiful-tax-bill-could-benefit-indians-living-in-the-us-7790321.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambitious One Big Beautiful Bill Promises To Bring Sweeping Changes to American Life :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ambitious-one-big-beautiful-bill-promises-to-bring-sweeping-changes-to-american-life-7789991.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Who Is Rama Duwaji: The Syrian-American Artist Behind Zohran Mamdani’s Rise | NYC’s Next First Lady? [Video]

Who Is Rama Duwaji: The Syrian-American Artist Behind Zohran Mamdani’s Rise | NYC’s Next First Lady?

Rama Duwaji—artist, activist, and wife of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani—has stepped into the spotlight after months of silence. The 27-year-old Syrian-American illustrator, known for her pro-Palestinian work, had avoided campaign publicity, sparking controversy and speculation. Critics claimed her art and political stance made her a liability. But on June 24, as Mamdani celebrated his win, she stood beside him—silent, composed, present. Born in Texas, raised partly in Dubai, Duwaji's work explores Gaza, race, identity, and dissent. Her pieces have supported Palestinian students and questioned U.S. policies. She and Mamdani met on a dating app, married in a private ceremony, and have since become one of NYC’s most-watched political couples. Now, as Mamdani eyes City Hall, all eyes are on Rama Duwaji—the woman who may soon be NYC’s first lady. #RamaDuwaji #ZohranMamdani #NYCPolitics #PalestineSolidarity #SyrianAmerican #ArtistActivist #NYCMayorRace #MiraNair #ArabAmerican #FirstLadyNYC #BrooklynArtist #ProgressivePolitics #GazaArt #PoliticalIllustration #WomensVoices #IdentityArt #MuslimVoices #NYCNews #LoveAndPolitics #MiddleEasternArt ~HT.178~ED.346~
