With US sanctions lifted, ties with Syria likely to improve

Syria welcomed the US decision to lift sanctions, viewing it as a positive step towards alleviating humanitarian and economic suffering. This follows a recent meeting between US President Trump and Syria’s new president, and aims to foster a balanced diplomatic relationship while allowing for investment and private sector activity in Syria. The US Treasury Department has issued a new license to facilitate this relief, contingent on Syria’s commitment to stability and security for all its citizens.
