"TRILATERAL SUMMIT HELD"
The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that a trilateral summit was held in the U.S. at the level of foreign ministers from the U.S., Syria, and Turkey.
"AGREEMENT REACHED"

STATEMENT FROM HAKAN FIDAN
Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan made statements following the summit and his contacts in the U.S. Fidan said, "How can the problem areas, especially in southern Syria, northern Syria, and other places, be managed better? What kind of work can be done regarding the Caesar Act? We had the opportunity to look at them in detail. We presented our positions," and added, "If problems are not managed carefully, there is a possibility of a challenge to the country's overall regional integrity and territorial integrity. In other words, the country may face increasing fragmentation. It is important that the Americans understand this, and I see that they do."
Fidan also stated, "I find Trump's approach to the Syrian issue quite constructive. We discussed many issues in the Palestinian dossier in detail, including the ongoing problems related to the ceasefire accepted in Gaza. We evaluated the U.S. position in the Iranian nuclear negotiations and what steps should be taken next. We informed our President about the results of our discussions," he expressed.
A FIRST HAS BEEN ACHIEVED
On the other hand, the Shara-Trump summit also carried historical significance. For the first time, a Syrian head of state met with a U.S. President at the White House.
CAESAR SANCTIONS LIFTED
Following the conclusion of the meeting, a noteworthy move came from Washington. The U.S. administration announced that the Caesar sanctions imposed on Syria have been suspended, except for transactions related to Iran and Russia.
The Caesar sanctions, which the U.S. began to implement against Syria in 2019, included severe economic sanctions against Syria's ousted leader Bashar al-Assad and individuals and institutions connected to him. While Congressional approval is required for the complete lifting of the sanctions, the U.S. President is allowed to suspend the sanctions for national security reasons.
