US President Donald Trump’s meeting with Syria’s transitional leader, Ahmed al-Shara, in Riyadh last week was accompanied by a landmark announcement: the United States will lift sanctions on Syria, paving the way for investment and reconstruction to help the country recover from 13 years of devastating civil war. This is a welcome development that will ease Syria’s re-entry into the global economy and bring much-needed relief for the millions of civilians reliant on humanitarian aid.
