Damascus, 8 July 2026 – The Syrian Arab Republic welcomes the announcement by the United States of America, following today's discussions between His Excellency President Ahmed Al-Sharaa of the Syrian Arab Republic and His Excellency President Donald Trump of the United States of America, of the initiation of the process of rescinding Syria's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, a designation it has held since 1979, as well as President Trump's notification to Congress of his intention to take this step. Together, these developments mark a significant step forward in Syrian–American relations, founded on dialogue, mutual respect, and shared interests.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates affirms that the removal of this designation, alongside the lifting of sanctions, will support economic recovery, create the conditions necessary for reconstruction efforts, and promote trade and investment, in a manner that serves the interests of the Syrian people and contributes to regional security and stability.

The Syrian Arab Republic looks forward to continuing constructive engagement with the United States of America in a manner that strengthens bilateral relations and advances peace, development, and prosperity.
