ALBAWABA - Recent sources are claiming that Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa is reportedly interested in building a Trump Tower in Damascus, to help ease the ongoing US sanctions on Syria.
According to the US Department of State, the US signed an executive order in May 2003 imposing sanctions and restrictions on Syria after deeming it a State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1979.
This comes after Syria's administration reportedly sought a meeting between Al-Sharaa and US President Donald Trump during his visit to the Middle East this week. According to Reuters, the meeting would include proposals such as economic cooperation, regional peace efforts, and the potential for building a Trump Tower in Damascus.

Aside from the Syrian administration, pro-Trump American activist Jonathan Bass, who spent four hours with Ahmed Al-Sharaa in Damascus, is pushing for a meeting between the Syrian President and Trump to help ease the decade-long tensions.
Among the countries Trump is visiting in the Middle East this week are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
Earlier this May, Eric Trump, the son of the US President, announced that the pre-construction for Trump Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, commenced, marking a significant development for Saudi Arabia's real estate sector and economic growth.

The US President recently sparked outrage for hinting at building a Trump Tower in Gaza. Additionally, he took to his socials and posted an AI-generated video of "Trump Gaza," showcasing luxurious resorts, belly dancers with beards, and several real estate buildings.
The video was described as "inhumane" and disrespectful to the displaced Palestinians suffering from the ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza, which resulted in the killing of more than 52,000 Palestinians and has left at least 119,000 injured, including children and women.
