President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he will be lifting sanctions on Syria as he kicks off his tour in the Middle East.

After the fall of the Assad regime in December, Syria’s new leaders, like President Ahmed al-Sharaa, hoped America would loosen its grip and lift the sanctions. After Trump announced the sanctions would be lifted, he met with al-Sharaa and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, with President Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey joining them over the phone.

During the meeting, Trump urged the leaders to sign onto the Abraham Accords with Israel in an attempt to inch toward peace in the Middle East. Trump also insisted they tell foreign terrorists to leave Syria, to deport Palestinian terrorists, to assist the United States and prevent the resurgence of ISIS, and to take responsibility for the ISIS detention centers in northeastern Syria.

“Syria, they’ve had their share of travesty, war, killing in many years,” Trump said. “That’s why my administration has taken the first steps toward restoring normal relations between the United States and Syria for the first time in more than a decade.”

“The sanctions were brutal and crippling and served as an important, really an important function, nevertheless, at the time,” Trump added. “But now it’s their time to shine. So I say, ‘Good luck, Syria.’ Show us something very special.”

The United States has designated Syria as a terrorist state for decades. But under the new leadership, some lawmakers like Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana said Syria is potentially shaping up to become a key ally.

“When Syria is contemplating its future under new leadership, we should want a seat at the table,” Stutzman, who met with al-Sharaa in April, told Blaze News. “President al-Sharaa has welcomed the West, allowed women into his Cabinet, and even recognized Israel as a sovereign nation.”

“President Trump should be meeting with him not only to help Syria be prosperous, but also to weaken the influence of Russia and China and create another ally and trade partner in the region,” Stutzman added.
