VisitBiden Administration to Ease Syria Aid Restrictions on Monday, Aiding New Damascus Government
Jan 6, 2025, 04:12 AM
The Biden administration is set to announce on Monday a limited easing of restrictions on humanitarian aid to Syria, aimed at accelerating the delivery of essential supplies without lifting broader sanctions against the new government in Damascus, according to the Wall Street Journal. This move is intended to support the new government following President Bashar al-Assad's downfall, and is expected to allow for transactions that will increase the flow of humanitarian assistance into the country. The U.S. Treasury Department is anticipated to issue general licenses that may also permit limited commercial activities such as grain shipments and electricity sales.
