Thomas Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey, praised Syria's interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa during a recent meeting, emphasizing the need to lift sanctions against Syria to ensure enduring defeat of ISIS. Barrack's remarks followed actions taken by the Trump administration to temporarily suspend sanctions imposed on the former Assad government. He commended al-Sharaa for his engagement with U.S. policy regarding ISIS and relations with Israel, suggesting future investments and developments could occur in a post-sanction Syria, including the potential for a Trump Tower in Damascus.
I stressed the cessation of sanctions against Syria will preserve the integrity of our primary objective the enduring defeat of ISIS and will give the people of Syria a chance for a better future.
This meeting was historic, putting the issue of sanctions...far behind us, and resulting in joint commitment of both our countries to drive forward, quickly, with investment, development, and worldwide branding of a new, welcoming Syria without sanctions.
