The Trump administration announced Monday it will rescind the terrorist designation given to the Syrian group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.

The Trump administration is revoking the terrorism designation of a group led by Syria's new president as part of a broader U.S. engagement with the transitional government since the ouster of former leader Bashar Assad late last year.

Washington's move follows the lifting of sanctions on Damascus after the ouster of the al-Assad government in December in a rebel offensive. View on euronews
