Trump wants to remove Syria from the terrorist list

US President Donald Trump has indicated a possible removal of Syria from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism. During a press encounter, Trump stated he plans to take this step, praising Syrian interim president Ahmed al-Sarraj for his work. The U.S. State Department informed Congress of the proposed measure, calling it a 'milestone' in U.S.-Syria relations. Removing Syria from the list would ease international business operations in Syria and is seen as a prerequisite for foreign direct investment. While the U.S. had previously announced a review of Syria’s status, Trump did not confirm if results were available. Despite eased U.S. sanctions since Assad’s ousting in late 2024, Syria remains formally listed as a state sponsor of terrorism.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the announcement and implications of potential changes to Syria's status on the U.S. terrorism list without overtly favoring either side.
