美国周一正式将叙利亚从国家恐怖主义资助国名单中移除，美国国务卿马可·卢比奥表示，此举消除了该国投资和经济复苏的最后主要障碍。
卢比奥在一份声明中表示，在法定45天国会通知期结束后，他已正式批准撤销这一认定。
唐纳德·特朗普总统已于7月启动除名程序，此前他向国会证实叙利亚政府已停止支持国际恐怖主义行为。
“我还撤销了沙姆解放组织（HTS）作为特别指定全球恐怖组织（SDGT）的认定，”卢比奥周一表示。

他表示，这些行动是“特朗普总统为叙利亚人民走向繁荣迈出的又一历史性一步”。
卢比奥称，过去一年华盛顿采取了前所未有的举措，为叙利亚人民提供制裁救济。
他提到特朗普2025年6月发布的《关于撤销叙利亚制裁的行政令》，该命令终止了叙利亚制裁计划和针对叙利亚的国家紧急状态，加快了制裁救济进程，同时要求对其他与叙利亚相关的制裁和恐怖主义认定进行审查。
“采取这些行动，是认可叙利亚艾哈迈德·沙拉总统领导下的政府采取的积极行动，以及该国政府做出的彻底摆脱国际恐怖主义行为的进一步承诺，”卢比奥在谈及叙利亚政府时表示。
沙拉于2024年12月在沙姆解放组织叛军领导的攻势中推翻总统巴沙尔·阿萨德。叙利亚自1979年起被列入国家恐怖主义资助国名单，这一认定在阿萨德执政期间始终有效。

“过去一年，叙利亚政府在反恐方面采取了重大举措，包括于11月正式加入打击ISIS全球联盟，并开展行动破坏ISIS、基地组织、真主党和伊朗关联组织的恐怖网络，”卢比奥说。
他补充道，撤销叙利亚的国家恐怖主义资助国认定以及沙姆解放组织的特别指定全球恐怖组织认定“消除了叙利亚私营部门投资的最后主要障碍，推动叙利亚经济复苏并重新融入全球经济”。

叙利亚外交部长阿萨德·希巴尼8月22日对路透社表示，解除这一认定将有助于叙利亚恢复与全球金融体系的联系，并在经历近14年战争后鼓励投资。
“如今叙利亚的投资、经商和重建经济生活已无任何障碍，”他说。
美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特也在一份声明中表示：“今日的举措将有助于推动叙利亚获得更多投资，促进政治和经济稳定”，并补充说这“符合特朗普总统为叙利亚提供制裁救济的承诺”。
叙利亚中央银行行长周一表示，将叙利亚从国家恐怖主义资助国名单中移除是“历史性一步，将使叙利亚重返全球经济体系中的应有位置”。
周一，特朗普还在Truth Social上发布了一张沙拉和希巴尼手持他签署的2025年6月针对叙利亚制裁救济行政令的照片。

Syria off US terror blacklist after nearly 50 years as Trump admin clears investment hurdle
Cuba, Iran and North Korea remain the three countries designated by Washington as state sponsors of terrorism

The United States on Monday formally removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a move Secretary of State Marco Rubio said eliminates the final major barriers to investment and economic recovery in the country.
Rubio said in a statement that he had authorized the formal rescission after a mandatory 45-day congressional notification period ended.
President Donald Trump had initiated the countdown in July after confirming to Congress that Syria’s government had ceased supporting acts of international terrorism.
“I have also delisted Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) designation as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT),” Rubio said Monday.

The actions, he said, represent “another historic step by President Trump to give the Syrian people a path to prosperity.”
Rubio said Washington had taken unprecedented steps over the past year to provide sanctions relief to the Syrian people.
He pointed to Trump’s June 2025 executive order, “Providing for the Revocation of Syria Sanctions,” which accelerated sanctions relief by terminating the Syria Sanctions Program and the national emergency with respect to Syria while directing reviews of other Syria-related sanctions and terrorist designations.
“These actions were all taken in recognition of the positive actions taken and further commitments by the Syrian government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa to fully distance Syria from acts of international terrorism,” Rubio said of the Syrian government.
Al-Sharaa ousted President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024 in an offensive led by HTS rebels. Syria had been on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list since 1979, with the designation in force throughout al-Assad’s rule.

“In the past year, the Government of Syria has taken significant steps to counterterrorism, to include formally joining the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS in November and conducting operations to disrupt the terror networks of ISIS, al-Qa’ida, Hizballah, and Iran-aligned groups,” Rubio said.
He added that rescinding Syria’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism and HTS’ designation as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist “eliminates the final major barriers for private-sector investment in Syria and promotes Syria’s economic recovery and reintegration into the global economy.”

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani told Reuters on Aug. 22 that lifting the designation would help restore Syria’s links to the global financial system and encourage investment following nearly 14 years of war.
“There is no longer any obstacle to investment, doing business and rebuilding economic life in Syria,” he said.
“Today’s action will help foster additional investment in Syria to promote political and economic stability,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also said in a statement, adding that it is “in line with President Trump’s promise to deliver sanctions relief to Syria.”
The governor of the Central Bank of Syria said Monday that lifting Syria’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism is a “historic step that returns it to its natural place within the global economic system.”
On Monday, Trump also posted a photo on Truth Social of al-Sharaa and al-Shibani holding his signed June 2025 executive order directing sanctions relief for Syria.
