Lifting of US sanctions on Syria could spur refugee returns, says UN official
BEIRUT: The head of the UN refugee agency in Lebanon said Thursday that the move by the United States to lift sweeping sanctions on Syria could encourage more refugees to return to their country. The US Senate voted Wednesday to permanently remove the so-called Caesar Act sanctions after the administration of President Donald Trump previously temporarily lifted the penalties by executive order. The vote came as part of the passage of the country’s annual defense spending bill. Trump is expected to sign off on the final repeal Thursday.
