US Eases Sanctions on Syria

According to⁣ the English section of webangah News ‍Agency, US ​President Donald Trump met with Abu Mohammad al-Julani, leader of Syrian terrorist groups, during ​his Middle East trip mediated by⁤ saudi Arabia. During‌ the meeting, Trump promised to⁣ ease ⁣sanctions on​ Syria—a‍ commitment Washington is now‌ implementing.

Following this growth, ⁣US Secretary of State Marco⁣ Rubio confirmed the sanctions relief ​for Syria.

“Sanctions ‍reduction is critical for​ Syria’s progress,” Rubio stated. “Under the Caesar Act, we ⁣have issued sanctions exemptions‍ for Syria to increase investment and cash flow in the country.”

Highlighting‌ the ​Trump administration’s⁣ efforts​ to improve relations with Damascus, Rubio added: “The exemptions will facilitate essential services and ⁣reconstruction in ‍Syria. We support the Syrian people’s efforts⁤ to build ‌a brighter future.”

The Secretary of State claimed: “Sanctions waivers ensure our⁢ partners retain ⁢their ability to invest in Syria.⁤ These⁢ exemptions ⁤will‌ ease ⁤access to electricity, energy, water, and healthcare while improving humanitarian ‌aid distribution.”

Earlier reports from Western sources indicated Turkey and Saudi Arabia had pushed for ​lifting US sanctions against Syria. However, Tel Aviv remains opposed to removing Damascus-related restrictions.
