Senior Syrian officials stated that talks between Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed political, security, and economic issues between the two countries. These discussions could pave the way for continued communication between Damascus and Washington. Separately, the American Federal Register published a decision exempting Syria from remaining sanctions under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991, specifically regarding weapons sales and their financing.
