US Wants Sanctions Relief for Syria Leader Before Trump Meeting

US Wants Sanctions Relief for Syria Leader Before Trump Meeting

The United States is seeking to have sanctions lifted on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad before his visit to the White House next week. This move is part of President Donald Trump's efforts to support the new Syrian government after a decade of civil war in the country. The US is asking the United Nations Security Council to remove the sanctions, which were imposed in response to the Assad regime's crackdown on anti-government protests in 2011. The White House's push for sanctions relief comes as it seeks to rebuild relations with Syria and potentially pave the way for a meeting between Trump and Assad. The article highlights the ongoing diplomatic efforts to address the Syrian conflict and the potential for a shift in the US approach towards the Assad government.
