US Removes Syrian President Shara from Sanctions List
The United States has announced the removal of Syrian President Ahmed Shara from its sanctions list, signaling a shift in diplomatic relations amid ongoing regional developments.
The U.S. Department of State, through Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott, confirmed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has officially delisted Syrian President Ahmed Shara from U.S. sanctions. Pigott stated that this decision sends a “strong political message recognizing Syria’s transition into a new era.”
Additionally, the U.S. Treasury Department removed Syrian Interior Minister Anes Hattab from the sanctions list. Pigott emphasized that these steps acknowledge progress in Syrian leadership following the departure of Bashar al-Assad. He noted that the new Syrian government, under President Shara, has shown commitment to locating missing Americans, combating terrorism and drug trafficking, eliminating chemical weapons, promoting regional security and stability, and supporting an inclusive, Syrian-led political process.
Pigott further affirmed that the U.S. will continue to support the Syrian people’s efforts toward peace, stability, and reconstruction.
This move follows a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted on November 6, calling for the lifting of sanctions against President Shara and Minister Hattab.
