Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump said at the NATO summit in Ankara that he will remove Syria from the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism list, ending a designation in place since 1979. Trump made the comments while meeting Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, saying Syria had made strides under his leadership and could assist U.S. priorities. Secretary of State Marco Rubio formally notified Congress that the administration plans to lift the designation. Al-Sharaa became transitional president after the Assad regime fell in December 2024 and previously led Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.
