The United States government has officially removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, as announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio according to UATV English. Following the completion of the required 45-day congressional notification period, Rubio authorized the formal rescission of Syria's designation. Additionally, Rubio rescinded the status of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) as a global terrorist organization.
These actions mark another significant milestone under President Trump's administration, aimed at providing the Syrian people with an opportunity for prosperity, according to Rubio. The decisions were made in response to the positive steps and commitments demonstrated by the Syrian government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, to distance itself from international terrorism.
President Trump initiated the removal process in July, when he placed Syria on the list of state sponsors of terrorism, a status it had held since 1979.
