Cafeaua băută de președintele Siriei și platită cu Visa, devenită un simbol
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa's use of a Visa card for coffee symbolizes Syria's removal from the U.S. terrorism list, marking a significant economic reintegration. This transaction, previously impossible for over 15 years, was highlighted in a government video. The U.S. lifted Syria from the terrorism list after 47 years, coinciding with the elimination of a key militant group. This decision is expected to attract investments and stabilize the economy, although sanctions against Assad's associates remain. The EU has also aligned with the U.S. in lifting sanctions.
