US seeks Syria's normalization, sets key conditions

The United States is moving to normalize relations with Syria, lifting decades of sanctions after a meeting between US and Syrian leaders. This follows the ousting of the Assad regime. The US is demanding Syria sever ties with Palestinian militant groups, protect minority rights, and address weapons of mass destruction. These conditions are prerequisites for full normalization and further investment. This shift follows years of conflict and sanctions, including a $10 million bounty on the current Syrian leader. The US also seeks Syria's support in combating ISIS and resolving the status of foreign fighters.
