PNN – The Wall Street Journal reported that the Biden administration is easing restrictions on sending humanitarian aid to Syria today to speed up the delivery of essential goods.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the Wall Street Journal wrote that this decision of the White House is due to its caution regarding the lifting of extensive sanctions against Syria and clarifying the path adopted by its new rulers.
Based on this decision, the Treasury Department is allowed to issue exemptions to aid groups and companies providing essential services such as water, electricity and other humanitarian items.

According to officials, this exemption was initially issued for 6 months and exempts suppliers of relief items from applying for a permit on a case-by-case basis. However, this exemption comes with conditions to ensure that Syria will not misuse the equipment.
According to this American newspaper, Washington has refused to make a decision on lifting the broad and crippling sanctions imposed during Syria’s 13-year civil war, and is looking for the new rulers to guarantee that they will protect the rights of women and religious minorities.
With only a few weeks left in the Biden administration, it looks like it will fall to President-elect Donald Trump to decide whether to sanction and recognize the opposition-led government.
