US removes business-related sanctions from YPG/PKK-held areas in Syria, easing monetary supplies to the terrorist group which often attacks America's NATO ally Türkiye
The YPG, which is the Syrian branch of the PKK, remains in control of large swathes of Syria with US backing.
Purchases of Syrian oil from the region are also permitted as long as they do not benefit the regime. Importing Syrian oil to the US also remains prohibited, according to the license, which was signed by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control Director, Andrea Gacki. The PKK is a designated terrorist organisation in Türkiye and the US. But Washington has refrained from designating the YPG and continues to partner with it in the region against the Daesh terror group despite strong protests from Ankara.
