‘Fresh Start’: Trump Signals Syria Sanctions Relief As Sharaa Dangles Minerals & Trump Tower Deal

President Donald Trump has hinted at easing long-standing U.S. sanctions on Syria, citing new overtures from Syrian leader Sharaa and a potential “fresh start.” Sharaa is offering U.S. companies access to valuable minerals in a Ukraine-style deal and has even floated the idea of a Trump Tower in Damascus. Talks are reportedly being brokered by intermediaries from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, while Trump’s advisers remain divided. A possible meeting with Sharaa during Trump’s Mideast trip remains unconfirmed as regional power dynamics shift and economic opportunities open. #Trump #Syria #MiddleEast #Sanctions #Diplomacy #Sharaa #TrumpTower #USPolitics #GlobalTrade #MideastTour #SaudiArabia #Turkey #Qatar #UAE #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #PeaceTalks #TrumpSpeech #BreakingNews #GolanHeights #Macron #EU #Israel #AbrahamAccords #TrumpInMideast #SyrianCharmOffensive #EnergyDeals #SyriaSanctions #USSanctions #Trump2024 #BackchannelDiplomacy Also Read India Rejects Trump’s Trade Claim New Delhi Denies US Role In India-Pakistan Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-rejects-trump-s-trade-claim-new-delhi-denies-us-role-in-india-pakistan-ceasefire-4151755.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump May Temporarily Use Qatar’s $400 Million 'Flying Palace' As Air Force One Amid Ethics Scrutiny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-may-temporarily-use-qatar-s-400-million-flying-palace-as-air-force-one-amid-ethics-s-4151121.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Welcomes Trump's Offer To Mediate Kashmir Dispute, Says Islamabad Dedicated To 'Promote Peace' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-welcomes-trumps-offer-to-mediate-kashmir-dispute-says-islamabad-dedicated-to-promote-pea-4150395.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~
