Trump said on his Truth Social account: "I am pleased that U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye Thomas Barrack will also serve as the U.S. Special Envoy for Syria."
He added, "Thomas recognizes that there is great potential to stop extremism, improve relations, and achieve peace in the Middle East through cooperation with Syria."
Recently, the US President and the European Union announced the lifting of economic sanctions imposed on Syria during the reign of ousted President Bashar al-Assad.
On December 8, 2024, Syrian factions took control of the country, ending 61 years of brutal Baath Party rule and 53 years of Assad family rule.
