Promise and peril
The Statesman Delhi
|May 15, 2025
President Donald Trump's latest diplomatic overture in West Asia marks a bold, controversial, and strategically calculated move.
-
By lifting long-standing sanctions on Syria, he has signaled not just a willingness to recalibrate US foreign policy but also a broader realignment of priorities in a region historically shaped by conflict, oil, and ideology.
The backdrop of his Riyadh visit – draped in ceremonial grandeur and gilded promises of trillion-dollar investments – underscores a transactional worldview that places economic influence at the heart of global diplomacy. Lifting sanctions on Syria is a significant departure from over a decade of American policy that sought to isolate and penalize the Assad regime. While the Assads are no longer in power, the memory of their brutal crackdown on dissent and the devastating civil war remains fresh.
