US, UK and UN Remove Syrian President Al-Sharaa from Terror List

On Friday, the US Department of the Treasury removed Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa from the Specially Designated Global Terrorist list ahead of his White House meeting with President Donald Trump on November 10, 2025.
The delistings were presented as steps to unblock Syria's reconstruction, with officials saying they remove barriers to Syria's reintegration after Bashar al-Assad's December 2024 fall.
A US-sponsored resolution passed with 14 votes in favour and one abstention from China, also removing Interior Minister Anas Hasan Khattab from sanctions listings.
Al-Sharaa will visit the White House on Monday to meet President Donald Trump, marking the first Syrian presidential visit; officials expect easing of trade restrictions while US Congress works to repeal sanctions.
Ambassador Mike Waltz called the vote `a strong political signal` that recognises a new era, while Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Qatar have backed renewed engagement and offered funding support.
