The Biden administration has relaxed sanctions affecting transactions with Syria's transitional government following the removal of Bashar Assad.
This action signifies a move towards engagement between the U.S. and Hay’at Tahrir al Sham (HTS), which played a key role in Assad's ouster.
The sanctions relief aims to enable American businesses and NGOs to aid in Syria’s reconstruction, particularly in vital sectors like water and sanitation.
Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, Wally Adeyemo, emphasized the potential for rebuilding in Syria after Assad's regime, backed by Russia and Iran, ended.
The U.S. is advocating for a Syrian-led political transition, which includes HTS, while monitoring their actions closely during this period.
