UN Lifts Sanctions on Syria’s Al-Sharaa | N18G #Firstpost

The United Nations Security Council voted to lift sanctions on Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa ahead of his planned White House visit. The US-drafted resolution passed with 14 votes in favour, while China abstained, citing counterterrorism concerns. Washington said the move signalled a new era for Syria following the ouster of Bashar al-Assad. Sharaa, once under US sanctions for leading the former al-Qaeda affiliate Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, now heads Syria’s transitional government. His upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump marks the first by a Syrian leader to Washington since 1946, as the US redefines its policy toward Damascus.
