US to remove Syria's HTS from list of foreign terror groups
Published: 7/7/2025

The US will remove Syria's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) from the list of foreign terrorist groups. This move is part of a broader effort to reset relations with Syria, after years of sanctions targeting the old regime. The decision comes after President Trump's executive order to end sanctions against Syria, aiming to support stability and peace in the region. Additionally, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy visited Syria recently, announcing a support package to aid Syrian refugees and the country's recovery.
