In a significant diplomatic move, the United States has lifted sanctions imposed on Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa. This development comes a day after the United Nations Security Council removed similar restrictions.
The U.S. Treasury Department announced the removal of Specially Designated Global Terrorist designations on both Ahmad al-Sharaa and Syria's interior minister, Anas Khattab. The decision was posted on the Treasury's official website.
This strategic decision is set to pave the way for President al-Sharaa’s impending meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, expected to take place next week. The meeting marks a critical moment in ongoing diplomatic relations between the two nations.
