U.S. Moves to Remove Syria from Terror List | Oakland News

The U.S. is poised to remove Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism — a designation dating back to 1979 — after President Trump announced the move, setting off a 45-day review period. The administration argues this reflects Syria’s political evolution and aims to unlock foreign investment, rebuild ties, and restore economic access. If Congress doesn’t block it, Syria will join Iraq, Libya, and Sudan as former sponsors — leaving only Iran, North Korea, and Cuba on the list. Removal could lift restrictions on aid, defense sales, and financial transactions, potentially revitalizing Syria’s economy and global standing.
