US President Donald Trump said today (Monday) that he may reduce US sanctions. “We may reduce (sanctions) to Syria, because we want to give them a new start,” Trump told reporters.
The United States earlier this year issued exemptions from the sanctions imposed on Damascus that included a license that allows transactions with the ruling institutions in Syria and some transactions related to energy and personal financial transfers, for a period of six months.
Syria has faced difficulty in applying the conditions set by Washington to reduce US sanctions, which keeps the country isolated from the global financial system and increases the difficulty of economic recovery after 14 years of the grinding war.
In a related context, Donald Trump confirmed, on Monday, in a post on the “Truth Social” that Hamas will release the American -Israeli hostage Alexander Alexander within two hours.
A source in the “Hamas” movement said that the date of the release of the Israeli -Israeli soldier, Idan Alexander, was coordinated with the International Committee of the Red Cross today, Monday.
According to the “German News Agency”, the source, who asked not to be named, stated that extensive field preparations are taking place with the Red Cross in preparation for the release of Alexander, adding that estimates indicate that the release process will take place in the evening hours.
