Europe to Lift Sanctions on Syria
---------------------------------

European nations are preparing to lift economic sanctions on Syria as
the country rebuilds following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's rule.
This follows President Trump's announcement last week that the U.S.
would lift sanctions on Damascus. More details on the agreement could
come later today as the EU summit in Brussels continues.
