Syrian leader says lifting of US sanctions 'historic and courageous' ...Middle East

Speaking in a television address, Sharaa said Trump’s move “was a historic and courageous decision, which alleviates the suffering of the people, contributes to their rebirth and lays the foundations for stability in the region”.

Trump met Sharaa in Riyadh on Wednesday, becoming the first US president to meet a Syrian leader in a quarter of a century, and urged the onetime jihadist to normalise ties with Israel.

“Syrians, the road before us is still long. Today we begin the real work, with which modern Syria will be reborn,“ Sharaa added.

Washington imposed sweeping financial sanctions on Syria during war and made clear it would punish anyone involved in reconstruction so long as Assad remained in power.

Trump however gave no indication that the United States would remove Syria from its blacklist of state sponsors of terrorism -- a designation dating back to 1979 over support to Palestinian militants that severely impedes investment.
