Is this maybe taken out of context. Normalising relations with the new Syrian government is happening and Sharaa could have floated as a sign of more open trade and capital flows.
I think it's more likely to Sharaa trying to tell Trump what he wants to hear very successfully.
Trump is corrupt and a Trump tower is a very low price for normalising relations, Sharaa is playing to Trumps corrupt tendencies.
My friend, even if this is the way to handle Trump, it's not okay for anyone. Imagine other leaders could be as easily bought. There's a reason we don't want bribery in politics.
I'd argue it's savvy and not corrupt by Sharaa. Just as selling weapons for concessions only he sold land for sanctions lifted. It's the US that has an incredibly self serving president and Syria with a leader that serves Syria.
I understand Syria. Trump is the one I have issues with. And I'm sorry if I sounded arrogant.
