US to ease Syria aid restrictions while keeping sanctions in place, sources say

The U.S. is set to announce an easing of restrictions on providing humanitarian aid and other essential services, such as electricity, to Syria while maintaining its strict sanctions regime, people briefed on the matter told Reuters.

The outgoing Biden administration's decision will signal goodwill to Syria's new Islamist rulers.

It aims to improve living conditions in the war-ravaged country while keeping U.S. leverage in place.
