Trump Meets Syrian President Amidst Historic Sanctions Lift

Trump's Syria Visit: A New Chapter in Relations? US President Donald Trump's recent meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia marks a significant shift in US-Syria relations. The meeting followed the US decision to lift sanctions on Syria, a move that has been met with both celebration and skepticism. The BBC's Lina Sinjab reports from Syria, highlighting the impact of this decision on the Syrian people, many of whom are struggling with poverty and the aftermath of a decade-long war. "This is a big turning point for Syria," Sinjab says, "Many Syrians feel they are back into the international community." However, the lifting of sanctions also comes with conditions, including a request from President Trump for President al-Sharaa to improve relations with Israel and to force foreign fighters out of Syria. The situation remains complex, with the long-term consequences of this meeting and the lifting of sanctions yet to be fully understood. The video shows joyous celebrations by Syrian citizens, offering a glimpse of hope amid ongoing challenges.
