Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron is reportedly planning a historic trip to Syria — the first by a Western leader since Assad’s ouster in 2024. Following his May meeting with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa in Paris, where he pledged to ease sanctions, Macron is now expected to bring investors and business representatives to explore rebuilding efforts. Though his office remains silent, Syria’s state media confirms the visit, possibly timed around his NATO summit in Turkey. With the country shattered by war and needing hundreds of billions to recover, this move could signal a major shift toward economic revival and diplomatic normalization.
