US And Syria Strengthen Ties

US President Donald Trump hosted Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House this week. The year 2025 has certainly been an interesting one. In May, the United States announced it would lift sanctions on Syria after Trump’s historic meeting with Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former Sunni jihadist and known terrorist. Now, Al Qaeda is shaking hands with the president of the United States in the Oval Office as the US aims to profit from its investments in Syria.

Trump agreed to suspend sanctions on Syria for 180 days and offered Syria a place in the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. Syria is committed to continuing to fight ISIS, and more importantly, reducing Russian and Iranian influence in the nation. Syria said it will destroy all remaining drug stockpiles and chemical weapons from the Assad regime. Al-Sharaa is open to allowing the US to open an air base near Damascus. Relations have warmed to the point where the US may remove Syria from its black listing as a State Sponsor of Terrorism.

Now, the current Syrian president had a $10 million bounty on him prior to his sudden meeting with the POTUS in May. America captured Ahmed al-Sharaa while he was fighting for Al Qaeda in Iraq for over half a decade. He was a powerful high-level terrorist in the organization who secured vast power and influence. Then the US simply released him, or so we are told. The truth of the matter is that he was almost certainly compromised and turned into a CIA asset during this time period.

Syria has an estimated 2.5 billion in proven oil reserves, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Pre-war, Syria was producing 385,000 barrels of oil daily, but that slowed drastically to 24,000 to 34,000 per day from 2019 to 2025. At present, Syria has been generating 110,000 barrels per day, with 100,000 barrels from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and only 10,000 from the new administration. This is far from a recovery since the nation needs about 150,000 bpd to meet demand domestically.

Russia intervened in Syria back in 2015 at the guidance of Assad. Russia’s 49-year relationship with the Assad government has come to an end, and along with it, its stronghold in Syria. Syrians have been critical of Russian forces in the region and blame them for numerous civilian casualties, demanding reparations. Syria is not about humanitarian concerns. It’s about energy routes and Russian influence in the region. Washington had been trying to remove Assad for years because he refused to allow the Qatari gas pipeline that would have undermined Russia’s dominance in supplying gas to Europe. This is what the neocons never tell you. They want war—plain and simple—because it lines their pockets and advances their ideological dream of reshaping the world in their image.

Obama and the CIA funded opposing radical groups to topple the government, but it backfired and gave rise to ISIS. We now have the declassified documents from 2012 that show the US intelligence community knew this would happen and did it anyway. Ahmed al-Sharaa is exactly who the West needed to install an interim puppet government and force their way into Syria.

The United States now owns Syria through its ties to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey. More importantly, the interim government has been freshly established with a new Constitution promising diversity and a change from Sharia law to appease the West, although the president is a known jihadist terrorist who was captured by American troops and released in order to overthrow Syria’s last regime. All of this was planned out long ago.
