  • The U.S. will keep HTS on the list of terrorist organizations for the remainder of President Biden's tenure, leaving the decision to Donald Trump, officials say.

The article from MSN discusses President Joe Biden's decision to defer to former President Donald Trump's policy regarding the designation of certain Syrian Islamist leaders as terrorists. This policy involves maintaining the terrorist label on Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a group previously known as al-Nusra Front, which has ties to al-Qaeda. Despite some internal debate within the Biden administration about potentially removing this label due to HTS's efforts to distance itself from al-Qaeda and its role in fighting against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Biden has chosen to keep the designation in place. This decision reflects a continuity in U.S. foreign policy towards Syria, focusing on counter-terrorism efforts while navigating the complex dynamics of the Syrian conflict. The article also touches on the broader implications of this policy, including its impact on U.S. relations with Turkey and the ongoing challenges in the region.
