Donald Trump is set to issue an executive order lifting certain sanctions on Syria, a move aimed at stabilizing the country following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad. This executive order will revoke the 2004 sanctions that limited exports and froze Syrian government assets while keeping some Congressional mandates in place, particularly those related to human rights abuses and terrorism. After meeting Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, Trump responded to concerns about the adverse effects of the sanctions on Syria's reconstruction and governance efforts.
The executive order will remove sanctions on Syria while maintaining sanctions on the former president, Assad, his associates, and human rights abusers.
Donald Trump pledged in May to lift all sanctions on Syria following Assad's removal from power, responding to concerns from Syria's new leader.
