This came according to what the ministry reported on its account on the "X" platform.
The Treasury Department indicated that its Office of Foreign Assets Control issued "today (Friday) Syrian General License No. 25, which provides immediate relief from sanctions imposed on Syria."
She added that this comes "in line with the president's announcement (of his intention) to lift all sanctions on Syria."
The ministry explained that the license "allows transactions prohibited under Syrian sanctions regulations, which in practice means lifting sanctions on Syria."
According to the ministry, the license will "allow for the launch of new investments and the activation of the role of the (American) private sector in Syria, in line with the 'America First' strategy adopted by the President."
The ministry noted that "this step is part of a broader process pursued by the US government to remove the entire framework of sanctions imposed on Syria, in light of the violations committed by the Bashar al-Assad regime."
On May 14, during the Saudi-US Investment Forum 2025 in Riyadh, US President Donald Trump announced his intention to lift sanctions imposed on Syria.
He explained that the decision came after consultations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Syrian authorities are looking for international and regional support to help them address the repercussions of ousted President Bashar al-Assad's 24-year rule (2000-2024).
Against the backdrop of the Assad regime's violations and massacres in suppressing the Syrian revolution since 2011, the United States, the European Union, and other countries, including Britain, imposed sanctions on the Arab country. These sanctions included asset freezes, halting financial transfers, denying access to technology, and prohibiting transactions with the regime.
Since the overthrow of the Assad regime, the new Syrian administration, led by Ahmad al-Sharaa, has been demanding the lifting of these sanctions, arguing that they are hindering reconstruction efforts.
On December 8, 2024, Syrian factions took control of the capital, Damascus, and other cities, ending 61 years of brutal Baath Party rule and 53 years of Assad family control.
