Providing For The Revocation Of Syria Sanctions

It shifts U.S. policy from broad economic isolation toward conditional engagement with Syria’s new government. It also retains tools to punish specified security threats and restore some sanctions if statutory conditions are no longer met.

What the order does ​

• Terminates the Syria national emergency and revokes six related sanctions orders effective July 1, 2025, without disturbing earlier penalties, rights, or pending proceedings.
• Expands targeted sanctions against former Assad officials, serious human rights abusers, captagon traffickers, persons tied to missing U.S. nationals, property expropriators, peace-process obstructers, their supporters, and certain adult family members.
• Authorizes review and possible suspension of Caesar Act sanctions, subject to congressional notification and reimposition if required conditions cease to be met.
• Waives specified export, foreign-assistance, government-financing, bank-lending, and chemical-weapons-related restrictions on Syria.
• Directs reviews of the terrorist designations of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and Ahmed al-Sharaa and Syria’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism.
• Directs U.S. diplomacy at the United Nations to support Syrian stability, counterterrorism, weapons compliance, and possible sanctions relief.

Who it affects ​

• Syria’s new government, Syrian institutions, and people seeking access to trade, assistance, financing, and technology.
• U.S. banks, exporters, companies, aid providers, and agencies conducting or regulating Syria-related activity.
• Former Assad officials, terrorists, human rights abusers, captagon traffickers, sanctions evaders, and others covered by the retained targeted sanctions.
