Republican Senator Joe Wilson announced that the U.S. Senate has voted to repeal the Caesar Act sanctions imposed on Syria under the former government.
In a post on X, Wilson thanked the Senate for including the repeal in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), stating that the harsh sanctions targeted a regime that “no longer exists” and that Syria’s future “depends on full and total repeal.”
Wilson and the Syrian American Alliance have long advocated for lifting the sanctions on Syria and have urged Congress to support President Donald Trump’s position and approve a full repeal of the Caesar Act.
