Tom Barrack: Donald Trump Kept His Promise to Give Syria a Chance
ARK News.. Tom Barrack stated that the reactivation of the account of the Central Bank of Syria at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was the result of effective coordination between Washington and Damascus.
In a post on X on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, Barrack said the account had been reactivated for the first time since 2011, describing the move as a step forward in the path of cooperation between the United States and Syria.
Barrack added that Donald Trump “kept his promise to give Syria a chance,” noting that coordination between the two governments in recent months has produced “tangible results.”
On February 28, the Syrian central bank announced that it had completed procedures to settle its banking relations with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and reopened its account, a move seen as institutional progress toward reorganizing Syria’s external financial relations and strengthening its integration into the global financial system.
