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.
