BREAKING — US Special Envoy to Syria Thomas Barrack in Damascus: —Trump will declare that Syria is not a state sponsor of terror: “Thank God, the issue of state sponsor of terrorism is gone with the Assad regime being finished” —US wants Israel-Syria peace, believes it’s “solvable problem” —“I’d say we need to start a with just a non-aggression agreement, talk about boundaries and borders.” —“We help not by dictating from the top but by freeing people from the bottom to do what they do best, inshalla”. —“Our message to everybody is that the Middle East has been misunderstood and confused for too long. So if we can weave the threads of a new tapestry by helping, not dictating, that's this president's goal.”

Treasury is working with our colleagues at the State Department and National Security Council to execute the President’s direction on Syria sanctions. We look forward to implementing the necessary authorizations that would be critical to bringing new investment into Syria. Treasury's actions can help rebuild Syria's economy, financial sector, and infrastructure and could put the country on a path to a bright, prosperous, and stable future.
