Syria drops after 47 years from US list of countries sponsoring terrorism
El deshielo entre los dos enemigos tradicionales se produce después de que Al Shara visitara a Trump el año pasado
The US has announced that it will no longer consider Syria a state sponsor of terrorism, a designation that had been in place for 47 years. The decision, made by the administration of Donald Trump, comes after a meeting between Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al Shara at the White House in November. Al Shara, formerly known as Abu Mohamed al Julani, a former Al Qaeda leader, had a $10 million bounty on his head.
The move could allow US companies to participate in Syria's reconstruction and ease restrictions on foreign aid, defense exports, and financial transactions. The US still lists Iran, Cuba, and North Korea as state sponsors of terrorism.
