Strengthening Syria Sanctions and Banning Normalization with the Assad Regime.
This law formally prohibits the US government from recognizing or normalizing relations with the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria. It significantly expands and extends existing economic sanctions, targeting new individuals and entities involved in activities like aircraft trade, financial services, and the diversion of humanitarian aid. The goal is to increase pressure on the regime and deter other nations from establishing ties with it.
Key points
The US commits to non-recognition of the Assad government and actively opposing normalization efforts by other countries.
Economic sanctions are broadened to include commercial financial services, engineering, and individuals/entities linked to the theft or diversion of humanitarian aid.
The expiration date for key Syria sanctions has been extended until the end of 2032.
