  When President Donald Trump announced the lifting of US sanctions on Syria during his trip to the Middle East this week, it marked a major policy shift that could reshape the region and triggered a scramble across the US government to implement the decision, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

The article from CNN dated May 17, 2025, discusses the political turmoil surrounding the Trump administration's handling of sanctions against Syria. Amidst reports of internal disagreements, the administration is scrambling to formulate a coherent policy after President Trump's sudden announcement of easing sanctions, which has caused confusion among allies and adversaries alike. Key figures within the administration, including the Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, are publicly at odds over the decision, with some arguing it undermines U.S. leverage in the region. Critics, including members of Congress from both parties, have expressed concerns that the move could embolden the Syrian regime and its allies, Russia and Iran, potentially destabilizing the region further. The article highlights the ongoing debate and the administration's struggle to present a unified front on this critical foreign policy issue.
