Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa has authorized envoys to make a groundbreaking series of concessions to President Donald Trump in the hopes of normalizing relations with the United States.

Syria was largely destroyed during its fourteen year civil war. The World Bank estimates the price tag to rebuild the country is between $250 to $400 billion dollars, whose suffering has been compounded by a crushing U.S.-led sanctions regime.

Both China and Russia have been making aggressive entreaties to get reconstruction contracts in the country, offering to develop oil and gas reserves, including building telecommunications infrastructure through the Chinese company Huawei, Al-Sharaa said. The new Syrian president, nevertheless, has expressed a preference for working with the West as a partner.

If the U.S. is willing to do so, al-Sharaa said, Syria would invite American companies to exploit the nation’s oil and gas resources, and would work with American companies on reconstruction projects. Bass said that AT&T was explicitly mentioned as a preferred partner over Huawei.

As part of the potential deal, Syria would continue fighting groups like the Islamic State and Al Qaeda. Moustafa said there would be increased intelligence-sharing opportunities within the U.S.-Syrian rapprochement. The deal could also include limiting the ability of Palestinian militant groups said to be aligned with Iran to operate in Syria. Moustafa noted that the Syrian government has recently jailed officials from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, in what he described as a sign of the new government’s willingness to take on Iran and its allies. “We share the same enemies as the United States,” Bass said, summarizing what al-Sharaa told the group: “We share the same potential allies as the United States.”
