US President Donald Trump met on Monday with Syrian transitional President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House in the first official visit by a Syrian leader to Washington since 1946.
In parallel, the US Treasury Department announced the suspension of most sanctions on Syria, excluding those related to Russia and Iran. The Treasury also removed President al-Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Hassan Khattab from its sanctions list, stating the decision was part of efforts “to give Syria a new path toward stability.”
Sabounji said the Treasury’s announcement effectively extends the suspension of the Caesar Act for another six months pending a congressional decision on whether to lift sanctions permanently. He noted that the visit could accelerate that process.
The visit follows a series of political changes in Syria since al-Sharaa assumed office after the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. Washington has said the new Syrian leadership has shown “substantial change” in both domestic and foreign policies, including greater counterterrorism cooperation and openness to regional and Western dialogue.
Diplomatic sources in Washington told Shafaq News that the two presidents agreed in principle to establish a joint committee on sanctions, human rights, and reconstruction, with details expected to be announced later this week.
