flag Syria seeks full U.S. sanctions removal by end of 2025 to boost economy and reconstruction.

flag Syria aims to secure the full removal of U.S. sanctions by year-end 2025, following President Trump’s May 2025 decision to lift most sanctions after meeting with President Ahmed al-Sharaa. flag Although the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019 still authorizes sanctions, officials are pushing to repeal it, with hopes the bill reaches Trump for signature. flag A full lift would restore access to international banking, attract foreign investment, and aid reconstruction. flag The government plans to introduce a new currency, stabilize the economy, and restructure debt. flag Officials also seek reduced U.S. tariffs and investment from Gulf states and Chinese firms. flag A ceasefire with northern factions could unlock resources and drive economic recovery, with reconstruction costs estimated at $216 billion—potentially exceeding $1 trillion with modern infrastructure. flag Growing bipartisan support in Congress and the Trump administration is advancing efforts to repeal the Caesar Act, citing humanitarian and stability concerns.
