The Trump administration notifies the U.S. Congress of its decision to rescind Syria’s designation as a “State Sponsor of Terrorism,” according to reporting from Reuters cited by multiple outlets. An unnamed or senior administration official says the decision is conveyed to Congress as a formal step in the process. After receiving the notification, American lawmakers conduct a 45-day review period before making a final determination on whether the designation should be rescinded, the reports state. The coverage does not provide additional details on the rationale for the administration’s move, nor does it specify the timing of Syria’s removal beyond the requirement that Congress decide after the review window. The reports align that the action follows U.S. legal and procedural requirements for changing such a designation, with Congress holding the final authority after the specified review period.
