U.S. lifts Syria's terrorism sponsor status, easing sanctions
The Trump administration formally removed Syria from the State Sponsor of Terrorism list on Monday, granting significant sanctions relief and enabling Damascus to rejoin the international financial system. Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited positive actions by the Syrian government under Ahmed al-Sharaa, and the U.S. also delisted Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham from its global terrorist list. The move, which has bipartisan support, aims to promote Syria's economic recovery and reconstruction.
