U.S. further eases sanctions on Syria by lifting terrorist designation
Briefly

The U.S. State Department has revoked the terrorist designation of Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham, reflecting a shift to support the new Syrian government led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa. This move is anticipated to enhance the government’s access to capital, beyond basic humanitarian aid, thus expediting the country’s reconstruction following years of civil war. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the action recognizes positive developments under the new leadership. The revocation follows Trump's earlier commitment to ease sanctions as part of an ongoing policy adjustment.
Lifting the terrorist designation on Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham acknowledges the actions of the new Syrian government and grants increased access to capital for reconstruction efforts.
This decision aims to assist the Syrian government in recovering economically and encouraging skilled expatriates to return and contribute to the country's revival.
