Trump administration takes first steps in easing sanctions on Syria

  • The Trump administration began easing U.S. sanctions on Syria by proposing a six-month waiver on some restrictions starting May 13, 2025.
  • This decision comes after decades of sanctions imposed since 1979 and during a prolonged conflict in Syria that has resulted in widespread casualties and displacement.
  • Officials aim to support Syria's fragile five-month-old transitional government while managing a complex set of sanctions and foreign fighters still in the country.
  • President Trump declared, “We're taking them all off,” while Senator Rubio warned the transitional government could collapse within weeks without relief.
  • The sanctions relief signals a cautious first step toward ending penalties but requires Syria to meet conditions for permanent waivers to avoid state failure.
