What’s next for Syria's economy, security after Trump repeals Caesar sanctions?

Al-Monitor contributor Danny Makki joins host Adam Lucente from Damascus to discuss the US' repeal of the Caesar Act, a law which placed a number of sanctions on Syria over the deposed Assad’s regime conduct in the civil war. Makki describes the optimism in the Syrian business community following the vote, the remaining challenges on the country’s road to recovery, and whether the new government will be able to meet the Trump administration’s political and security expectations.
