The United States has begun easing sanctions imposed on Syria. The official announcement was made by the Treasury Department itself, which explains that this is being done to encourage new investments in that country. The decision comes after President Donald Trump's meeting with the Syrian leader last week in Saudi Arabia, writes A2 CNN.
At the same time, the State Department is making an exception under the Caesar Act to protect civilians in Syria, "which will enable foreign partners, allies, and the region to further exploit Syria's potential," the US Treasury statement said.
This 2020 law provided for harsh sanctions against any entity or company that collaborated with the regime of Bashar al-Assad, which was overthrown in December by a coalition of Islamist forces. (A2 Televizion)
