US Renews Syria Sanctions Waiver Just as Assad Successor Meets Trump
The New Arab reports the US renewed a temporary Caesar Act waiver for Syria, coinciding with Ahmed Al-Sharaa's meeting with Donald Trump. This 'waiver' isn't peace, it's a political tether, keeping Syria destabilized just enough to serve various regional agendas, while the humanitarian cost mounts. Meanwhile, the very architects of the 'Axis of Resistance' are photo-oping with the supposed 'Great
Satan,' reminding us that the principles of empire shift with the wind, not with human suffering. Remember the drumbeat about 'Assad must go'? Now, the US conveniently 'waives' punitive measures as Syria's new leadership explores a Trump endorsement. It's almost as if the 'war on terror' and 'humanitarian intervention' were always about control, never about the people. How many 'temporary waivers'
will it take for the media to question whose interests these sanctions truly serve?
