US removes Syria from state sponsor of terrorism list
WASHINGTON: The United States on Monday removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, rescinding a decades-old designation that came with severe economic restrictions and marking another step in warming ties between the countries. The US Department of State also revoked its designation of Al-Nusra Front — latterly known as Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) — as a global terrorist organization. The Treasury Department announced corresponding sanctions relief.
