President Donald Trump will sign an implementing regulation on Monday ending the United States' sanctions programme against Syria. The decision aims to advance and support the country's way to stableness and peace.
The announcement was made by White home spokesperson Karolina Leavitt during a press conference. She explained that most of the sanctions would be abolished as part of the promise Trump made during his May visit to Saudi Arabia.
Exceptions to the abolition of sanctions
However, restrictions on erstwhile president Bashar al-Assad and his associates will be maintained. Sanctions will besides stay against human rights violations, drug traffickers and chemical arms related entities.
The list of exceptions will besides include members of ISIS (Islamic States) and their affiliates and Iranian representatives. These groups will proceed to be subject to American restrictions.
State Department suspended any of the restrictions
The State Department has previously suspended any of the sanctions in force under the alleged Caesar Act. However, he did not take them completely, which was the subject of debate in the American administration.
The Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned against the consequences of maintaining full sanctions. In his opinion, without abolishing restrictions heavy on the Syrian economy, the fresh authorities could collapse and civilian war could start again in the country.
