US Suspends Syria Sanctions, Syrian President Visits White House

On November tenth, the U.S. State Department announced a 180-day suspension of most sanctions against Syria, aiming to facilitate rebuilding. This move coincides with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaas historic visit to the White House. Despite the suspension, the Caesar Act remains in effect, deterring investment. The White House pushes for full sanction lifting, but faces challenges due to a government shutdown. Congress is working on an amendment to repeal sanctions entirely, with President Trump committed to giving Syria a chance at greatness. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered.
