U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has signed documents officially repealing the sanctions package imposed on Syria in 2019, the U.S. Department of State said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The document states that the decision pertains to sanctions enacted under the so-called Caesar Act. The exemptions introduced by this move are expected to contribute to the improvement of sanitary conditions as well as issues related to electricity and water supply.<\/p>\n
“Today’s actions represent the first step in delivering on the President’s vision of a new relationship between Syria and the United States. President Trump is providing the Syrian government with the chance to promote peace and stability, both within Syria and in Syria’s relations with its neighbors. The President has made clear his expectation that relief will be followed by prompt action by the Syrian government on important policy priorities,” Rubio said.<\/p>\n
To remind, on May 14, U.S. President Donald Trump held talks in Riyadh with Syria’s interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa. This marked the first meeting between the leaders of the two countries in 25 years.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
