🇺🇸 Trump lifts sanctions against Syria and makes largest deal with Saudi Arabia — $600 billion in investments
🔻 For the first time since 1979, the United States lifts all sanctions against Syria. The decision was made personally by Donald Trump — at the request of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
⚡️ Against this backdrop, the White House makes a historic deal with Riyadh:
— $600 billion in investments in the United States
— $142 billion of which is the largest arms contract in history
— The rest — in energy, technology, mining, infrastructure
📍 Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Larry Fink, and Stephen Schwarzman spoke in Riyadh. The expansion of the agreement to $1 trillion is being discussed.
🇸🇾 Syria calls it a "new beginning." For the United States, it is a reboot of the Middle East strategy. For markets — an influx of liquidity, infrastructure projects, energy alliances and a new geoeconomic map.
Blocking China, turning to India, rapprochement with Saudi Arabia, normalization with Syria — this is a new game on the board, where the US is playing the long game. And $600 billion is not just a deal, it is a financial weapon of the era of deglobalization.
