US Proposes Lifting Syria Sanctions

U.S. Proposes Lifting Sanctions on Syrian President and Interior Minister Ahead of White House MeetingThe U.S. has put forward a draft resolution to the UN Security Council to lift sanctions on Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Khattab. The proposal requires at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes from the five permanent members. The meeting comes as President al-Sharaa, a member of the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), is set to visit the White House this Monday. Despite ongoing sanctions, a UN report found no active ties between al Qaeda and HTS this year, which may influence the U.S.'s decision to lift sanctions. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
