Trump announces removal of Syria from U.S. terrorism sponsor list
President Donald Trump said the United States would take Syria off its list of designated state sponsors of terrorism during a meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al‑Sharaa in Turkey.
President Donald Trump announced that the United States would remove Syria from its list of designated state sponsors of terrorism while meeting Syrian President Ahmed al‑Sharaa in Turkey. The announcement was made amid a NATO summit.
Trump cited Ahmed al‑Sharaa’s efforts to unify Syria as a reason for the delisting, according to Al Jazeera. He also wrote a letter to al‑Sharaa stating he would remove barriers to rebuilding Syria, Al Monitor reported.
The removal was implemented through an executive order issued on June 30 2025, which took effect on July 1 2025 and revoked six prior executive orders, CryptoBriefing reported. CryptoBriefing also noted that the policy reversal ends decades of financial isolation for Syria.
