While domestically President Trump intensifies investigations against his political adversaries and employs his executive powers to challenge even moderate critics, he projects a markedly different stance on the international stage.
During his first significant foreign tour of his second term, the President conveyed to audiences across the Middle East a message of setting aside past conflicts, even those involving serious accusations such as assassination attempts or affiliations with extremist groups.
In various speeches and impromptu comments, he emphasized a readiness to move beyond historical animosities in pursuit of peace and mutual economic benefit.
Speaking at the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in Riyadh on Tuesday, he declared, “I have never believed in having permanent enemies,” adding, “I am different than many people think.”
This declaration was notably connected to his outreach toward Iran, a government accused of plotting against him after his presidency—a charge Iran denies. Yet, shortly after, he extended a surprising gesture of conciliation.
He announced plans to lift U.S. sanctions on Syria, offering economic relief to a nation devastated by prolonged repression, civil conflict, terrorism, and deepened by international isolation.
