U.S. Secretary of State Rubio wrote today (Beijing Time July 1): "According to President Trump's executive order to 'revoke sanctions against Syria,' the United States is taking further action to support Syria's stability, unity, and peaceful coexistence with neighboring countries. U.S. sanctions will not hinder Syria's future development."
[Witty] Comment: The policy shift of the United States to lift sanctions on Syria brings both opportunities and challenges for Syria. On the positive side, the removal of sanctions can help Syria's economic recovery, currency appreciation, financial market stabilization, and inflow of international capital, offering hope for reconstruction in areas such as infrastructure, energy, and agriculture. However, behind this move, the United States has geopolitical considerations, retaining the power to resume sanctions at any time. The political situation within Syria is complex, with some areas still unstable, and the risk of civil war remains. Additionally, some Syrian entities and key individuals are still on the sanctions list, and American companies also hesitate to enter the Syrian market. If Syria wants to truly recover, it must rely on its own reforms, and it depends on whether the regional situation is stable and whether the international community supports it. Otherwise, this "pie" might turn into a "trap"!
