US President Trump moves to remove Syria from state sponsors of terrorism list
President Donald Trump has informed the US Congress of his intent to delist Syria as a state sponsor of terrorism, a designation dating back decades.
- Trump told Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and Congress of the decision during a NATO summit meeting in Turkey, a US official said.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio formally notified Congress of the procedure, with the delisting to take effect in 45 days unless lawmakers object.
- Trump last month signed an executive order ending the US sanctions program on Syria, including the Caesar Act, though sanctions remain on former President Bashar al-Assad and his associates.
- Senator Jim Risch, chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, said the decision could help Syrians recover from the Assad era.
