The United States removes Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism on Monday, ending a designation that has long constrained international investment and finance. The change is posted on the U.S. Treasury website and takes effect following a required 45-day congressional review period.
The decision follows a process set in motion when President Donald Trump notifies Congress on July 8 of his intention to rescind the designation. After the review period, the designation is lifted, according to the report. Damascus presents the move as clearing what it describes as the last major obstacle to investing in Syria.
Across the sources provided, the core details are consistent: Syria is taken off the terrorism sponsor list, the Treasury posts the action, and the timing is linked to the 45-day congressional review. Al-Monitor and Cyprus Mail also emphasize U.S. efforts to deepen ties with Syria’s new government, though they do not dispute the central facts about the removal or the procedural timeline.
