Amman, Dec. 19 (SANA) Jordan welcomed on Friday Washington’s decision on to repeal the Caesar Act, calling it an important step toward supporting Syria’s reconstruction, strengthening recovery, and fulfilling the aspirations of its people for development and prosperity.
Fuad al-Majali, official spokesperson for the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, said in a statement that Jordan “welcomes the decision, which comes as confirmation of the international will to support Syria in reconstruction and in achieving the aspirations of the brotherly Syrian people.”
He also expressed Jordan’s appreciation for the efforts of U.S. President Donald Trump and his decision to lift the sanctions. He reiterated Amman’s firm position in supporting Syria’s reconstruction based on its unity, sovereignty, security, stability, territorial integrity, and the safety of its citizens, while safeguarding the rights of all Syrians.
On Thursday, Trump signed the Department of Defense budget law for 2026, which includes a provision fully repealing the Caesar Act, imposed on Syria since 2019, making the repeal effective.
The sanctions were imposed on Syria in 2019 to punish the former regime for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against the Syrian people.
