Trump says he will ease sanctions on Syria, moves to restore relations with new leader

Quick Summary:

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia—President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will ease sanctions on Syria and move to normalize relations with its new government to give the country "a chance at peace.

Syria has historically had fraught relations with Washington since the days of the Cold War, when Damascus had close links with the Soviet Union and later when Syria became Iran’s closest ally in the Arab world.

Before Trump spoke, the White House said he had “agreed to say hello” to the Syrian president while in Saudi Arabia.
