In a significant diplomatic move, the United States has suspended the enforcement of Caesar Act sanctions on Syria for a period of 180 days. This decision was announced by the Treasury Department on Monday.

The suspension comes after a meeting in Washington between U.S. President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House. The sanctions had been previously waived on May 23.

This development signals a potential shift in U.S.-Syria relations, although the long-term implications remain to be seen.
