💨 Abstract
The U.S. has lifted the Caesar Act sanctions on Syria, which were imposed in 2019 to punish President Bashar Assad for human rights abuses. The repeal, signed by President Donald Trump, aims to facilitate Syria's reconstruction and economic recovery, estimated to cost $216 billion. Syria and its regional allies welcomed the move, while the U.K. imposed new sanctions on individuals and groups involved in civilian violence.
