Global sanctions on Syria eased, but key restrictions remain

This time last year, Ahmed al-Sharaa was wanted by the US with a 10-million-dollar bounty on his head.
Today, he's preparing to hold talks with Donald Trump in the White House as the president of Syria.
Sharaa arrived in Washington a day after the US removed him from a blacklist.
The two presidents are expected to discuss several issues including integrating Kurdish factions, which still control large parts of Syria.
Sharaa also wants Trump to lift sanctions that have devastated Syria's economy.
