نشرت وزارة الخزانة الأمريكية، اليوم، قرار إزالة لوائح العقوبات ضد سورية.
وفي 30 يونيو الماضي، وقّع الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترمب، أمراً تنفيذياً ينهي الإطار القانوني للعقوبات الأمريكية المفروضة على سورية، التي كانت تهدف في الأصل إلى معاقبة نظام بشار الأسد، لكنها أصبحت لاحقاً عائقاً أمام تعافي البلاد بعد الحرب.
ودخل الأمر التنفيذي حيّز التنفيذ 1 يوليو الماضي، وألغى إعلان حالة الطوارئ الوطنية بشأن سورية الذي صدر عام 2004.
كما ألغى خمسة أوامر تنفيذية أخرى كانت تشكّل الأساس لبرنامج العقوبات.
في موازاة ذلك تبقى العقوبات المفروضة على الرئيس السابق بشار الأسد والمقرّبين منه والأشخاص المتورطين في انتهاكات حقوق الإنسان أو الإرهاب أو انتشار الأسلحة أو تهريب الكبتاغون، سارية.
ولا يُلغي القرار تصنيف سورية «دولة راعية للإرهاب»، الذي فُرض عام 1979، والذي يشمل قيوداً على المساعدات الأمريكية ومنع تصدير الأسلحة. وأفاد مسؤول بالإدارة الأمريكية أن هذا التصنيف لا يزال قيد المراجعة.
وأتى ذلك بعد تحوّل كبير في السياسة الأمريكية تجاه سورية، عقب إعلان ترمب في 13 مايو الماضي عزمه رفع جميع العقوبات، ولقائه الرئيس السوري أحمد الشرع.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury published today the decision to remove the sanctions regulations against Syria.
On June 30, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that ends the legal framework of the U.S. sanctions imposed on Syria, which were originally aimed at punishing Bashar al-Assad's regime, but later became an obstacle to the country's recovery after the war.
The executive order came into effect on July 1 and revoked the national emergency declaration regarding Syria that was issued in 2004.
It also revoked five other executive orders that formed the basis for the sanctions program.
Meanwhile, the sanctions imposed on former President Bashar al-Assad, his close associates, and individuals involved in human rights violations, terrorism, arms proliferation, or Captagon smuggling remain in effect.
The decision does not revoke Syria's designation as a "state sponsor of terrorism," which was imposed in 1979 and includes restrictions on U.S. aid and a ban on arms exports. A U.S. administration official stated that this designation is still under review.
This came after a significant shift in U.S. policy towards Syria, following Trump's announcement on May 13 of his intention to lift all sanctions and his meeting with Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara.
