The United States has removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a move welcomed by the Syrian capital.
The United States announced that Syria is no longer listed as a state sponsor of terrorism, a designation that has been in place for decades.
The decision follows a review of Syria’s activities and is part of a broader reassessment of U.S. foreign policy toward the country.
Damascus welcomed the move, with officials saying it could pave the way for improved diplomatic engagement and economic cooperation.
The delisting may ease certain restrictions, though many existing sanctions and restrictions remain in force.
