The United States President Donald Trump says he will lift all American sanctions on Syria.
ABC News reports that he was convinced of the idea after discussions with the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, and the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
They say Syria has been subject to intense economic sanctions, imposed during the former dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad, and there have been growing calls to lift the restrictions to help the country recover from decades of brutal dictatorship and civil war.
ABC News reported that Trump says it is their time to shine, they have taken them all off.
