EU to Lift Sanctions on Syria in Major Policy Shift

The European Union has agreed to lift all economic sanctions on Syria, marking a significant change in its approach to the war-torn country.

EU foreign ministers approved the decision in Brussels on Tuesday, aiming to support Syria’s recovery after years of conflict and the recent change in leadership.

Some targeted sanctions against individuals accused of human rights abuses will remain.

The move follows similar steps by the United States and is expected to boost Syria’s reconstruction and reintegration into the international community.

Official statements from EU leaders are expected later today.
