💨 Abstract

Since President Trump's announcement to end U.S. sanctions on Syria, his administration is debating the speed and conditions for lifting sanctions. This debate revolves around the future of Syria's transitional government, established after Bashar Assad's fall, and its ability to stabilize Syria after a long and devastating civil war. Sanctions, imposed over decades, cover a complex web of statutes and executive actions, with some in the administration advocating for swift action and others pushing for a phased approach tied to conditions.
