Speaker in transcript says president ordered end to U.S. sanctions on Syria

An unidentified speaker said the president has ordered the cessation of U.S. sanctions on Syria and affirmed "The United States' support for a peaceful future in Syria," according to a meeting transcript.

The transcript records the speaker saying, "As the president said, he is ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness." The speaker also said, "From revitalizing America's economy to forging pathways to peace, the Trump administration is delivering on its promises. The results are clear, and more is yet to come." The remarks were delivered in a single recorded segment and are presented here as they appear in the transcript.

The transcript does not provide details about how or when any sanctions would be lifted, nor does it include references to specific executive orders, statutes, or an official announcement from the White House or the U.S. Department of State. The statement in the transcript therefore should be treated as a claim recorded during the meeting rather than as confirmation of a formal, implemented policy.

No votes, formal actions, or implementation steps appear in the transcript to accompany the claim. The record contains no effective dates, lists of sanctions to be ended, or citations to legal authority for such an order.

Further verification from official sources, such as statements from the White House or the U.S. Department of State, would be necessary to confirm whether sanctions have been formally lifted or whether any administrative steps have been taken to implement such a change in U.S. policy.
