President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Monday removing U.S. sanctions on Syria, the White House said, adding that some sanctions on former Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and other individuals will remain in place, APA reports citing Reuters.
Sanctions would remain on Assad's associates, human rights abusers, drug traffickers, people linked to chemical weapons activities, the Islamic State and ISIS affiliates and proxies for Iran, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters in a briefing.
