Syria's new president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, who has a past affiliation with Islamist groups including Islamic State in Iraq and al Qaeda, has initiated efforts to gain American support for rebuilding the country. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has requested the U.S. to arrange a meeting between former President Donald Trump and al-Sharaa during Trump's visit to Riyadh. Al-Sharaa has expressed eagerness for such a meeting.

The Syrian president has publicly offered U.S. companies full access to Syria's oil, gas, and reconstruction projects, along with cooperation on intelligence and steps toward peace with Israel. In return, Syria seeks the lifting of U.S. sanctions. These developments indicate a strategic move by al-Sharaa to improve Syria’s international relations and economic prospects through engagement with the United States.
