US Repeals Caesar Act, Paving Way for Syria's Reintegration
The United States has repealed the Caesar Act, a significant legislative move that signals a shift in U.S. policy towards Syria. The Caesar Act, which imposed sanctions on the Syrian government, was initially enacted to pressure President Bashar Assad's regime over human rights abuses. The repeal of this act has been met with celebrations in Syrian cities such as Homs, Hama, Aleppo, and Damascus, marking a rare moment of public joy after years of conflict. This development follows a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House, indicating a potential thaw in relations between the two nations.
