Syria's interim President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is actively pursuing the restoration of diplomatic ties with the United States. In a recent interview, al-Sharaa emphasized his government's intention to reestablish relations in the coming days, though he acknowledged that there has been no direct contact with the Trump administration to date.
Al-Sharaa highlighted the unauthorized presence of U.S. troops in Syria, asserting that any foreign military presence should be sanctioned by the Syrian state. He identified U.S. sanctions as the most significant threat to Syria, expressing hope that President Trump would prioritize lifting these measures. . .
