US Removes Syria's Sharaa from Terror List, Signals Policy Shift

The US has lifted Syria's Sharaa from the terror blacklist, following significant reforms under Syria's new leadership post Bashar al Assad's rule. Sharaa, previously associated with Al Qaeda, rose to power after military offensives backed by Turkey and Gulf nations.

The move comes after Sharaa's government met US conditions, including addressing missing American citizens and eliminating chemical weapons. High-level talks are expected between Sharaa and President Trump for support in Syria's political and economic rebuilding.
