Trump announces intent to remove Syria from State Sponsors of Terrorism list after meeting with al-Sharaa.
President Donald Trump said he intends to remove Syria from the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism list following a meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey on July 8, 2026. Secretary of State Marco Rubio formally notified Congress of the administration's intent, initiating a 45-day period before the removal takes effect. The designation, in place since 1979, has been a major barrier to Syria's access to international finance and investment.
