💨 Abstract

The United States is expected to ease sanctions on Syria in the coming weeks. At the request of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, President Trump ordered a policy shift that took parts of his administration by surprise. The Treasury and State departments are preparing to unwind sanctions through waivers under the "Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act." The goal is to facilitate humanitarian efforts, foreign investment, and aid rebuilding, potentially leading to the removal of sanctions by Congress if progress is made.
