During a visit to the Gulf on Tuesday, President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement that the United States would be lifting longstanding sanctions on Syria. He also announced that Saudi Arabia had committed to investing $600 billion in the United States.
Additionally, the United States has agreed to sell Saudi Arabia approximately $142 billion in weapons, which the White House described as the largest defense deal ever signed by Washington.
Speaking at an investment forum in Riyadh, Trump mentioned that he was lifting the sanctions at the request of Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “Oh, I’m doing everything for the prince,” Trump stated, emphasizing that while the sanctions had been significant, it was now time for Syria to progress.
