The US’ latest move to ease the sanctions imposed on Syria to support earthquake relief efforts is «misleading and aims to give a false humanitarian impression,» the Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
On Thursday, the US Treasury Department issued a so-called six-month sanctions exemption for Syria-bound humanitarian aid, saying the US sanctions in Syria «will not stand in the way» of live-saving efforts.
The Syrian Ministry responded in the statement on Friday that the US’ decision «stipulates alleged exemptions for humanitarian purposes, and the facts on the ground proved its falsehood».
