US to ease Syria aid restrictions while keeping sanctions in place, sources say

^{Published on 2025-01-06 10:40:45 - Reuters}

The decision by the outgoing Biden administration will send a signal of goodwill to Syria's new Islamist rulers.

The U.S. is planning to ease some aid restrictions on Syria as a gesture of support for the new government, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal on January 6, 2025. This move comes after the Syrian government, led by President Bashar al-Assad, has shown signs of implementing reforms and engaging in peace talks. The easing of restrictions is intended to facilitate humanitarian aid and reconstruction efforts in the war-torn country, although it does not signify a full normalization of relations or a complete lifting of sanctions. The decision reflects a nuanced shift in U.S. policy, aiming to balance support for humanitarian needs with the ongoing geopolitical considerations in the region.
