Trump promises US, Turkish and Damascus officials will meet tomorrow to discuss

The foreign ministers of Turkey, the United States and Syria will meet tomorrow in southern Turkey to discuss the details of President Donald Trump's promise to lift sanctions on Syria, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said.

According to foreign media, yesterday Trump said he would order the lifting of sanctions on Syria at the behest of the Saudi Arabian crown prince and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in what marked a major shift in US policy.

Now, Fidan has said that there will be an informal meeting of NATO foreign ministers, including himself, Marco Rubio and Asaad Hassan al Shibani, in the southern Turkish province of Antalya, to discuss this tomorrow, writes A2 CNN.

He said lifting sanctions would enable financial flows, investment and infrastructure development in Syria, which was politically fragmented and left in extensive ruins by the war.

Erdogan has repeatedly called on Trump to lift US sanctions on Syria since the President returned to the White House in January. (A2 Televizion)
