Trump: We will ease sanctions on Syria, may lift them

Washington, SANA- U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that his country intends to ease sanctions imposed on Syria to enable it to achieve a new beginning.

CNN quoted Trump as saying in a statement before his departure to the Middle East: “We’ll have to make a decision on the sanctions, which we might very well ease. Maybe we’ll lift them from Syria because we want to give them a new beginning.”

“The way we’ve sanctioned them doesn’t give them much room to maneuver. So we want to see if we can help them. So we’ll make that decision,” Trump added.
