Arabic version: ترامب يخطط لإزالة سوريا من قائمة الإرهاب في قمة الناتو

US President Donald Trump met Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkiye, and said he will remove Syria from the US state sponsor of terrorism list. It will become official in 45 days unless Congress blocks the decision.

The announcement marks a significant shift in US policy towards Syria, which has been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism for several years. The move could have implications for US-Syria relations and the broader geopolitical landscape in the region.

According to Al Jazeera, the decision reflects ongoing discussions and negotiations between the two countries, signaling a potential thaw in relations that have been strained for years.

The timeline for the removal from the list is contingent upon Congressional approval, which could lead to debates and discussions among lawmakers regarding the implications of this decision on national and international security.
