Siria abandona después de 47 años el listado de EE UU de países que patrocinan el terrorismo

The United States has taken another step in its thawing policy towards Syria, announcing that it will no longer consider the country a state sponsor of terrorism. This change comes after 47 years of inclusion in the US list, which now includes only Iran, Cuba, and North Korea. The designation of a nation as a state sponsor of terrorism imposes restrictions on American foreign aid, defense exports, and certain financial transactions.

The decision follows the November visit of Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara, who ended the decades-long dictatorship of the Assad family, making him the first Middle Eastern leader to meet with a US president in the White House. Al-Shara, previously known for his jihadist past with Al Qaeda and Hayat Tahrir al Sham, marked a significant 180-degree turn in US-Syrian relations.
