Trump administration lifts broad sanctions against Syria

The Trump administration on Friday lifted a wide range of sanctions against Syria, taking steps to fulfill a promise made this month during a trip in which President Donald Trump met with the country’s new leader in Saudi Arabia.

The Treasury Department in a “general license” lifted sweeping regulations that had banned U.S. citizens and companies from making most financial transactions with Syria’s government or entities that worked with Syria’s government.
