US Presses for Tightened Sanctions on Syria’s Assad
U.S. lawmakers are considering legislation that would tighten sanctions on Syria and impede normalizing relations with any Syrian government led by President Bashar al-Assad.
Some analysts say the bill would only hurt the Syrian people and not the Assad regime, while others argue sanctions will prevent Damascus from rebuilding…
The bill, introduced by U.S. Representative Joe Wilson and some 35 colleagues, expands on the Caesar Act, which imposed a tough round of sanctions on Syria in 2020.
The new measure, known as the Assad Regime Anti-Normalization Act of 2023, would penalize Arab countries, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and others which have re-established diplomatic ties with the Assad government if they invest in Syria.
