- January 17, 2025: President Biden amended Executive Order 13894 concerning the situation in Syria. The amendment specifically removed the phrase referencing "the recent actions by the Government of Turkey to conduct a military offensive into northeast Syria." This revision suggests a shift in focus or approach regarding the Syrian situation, although the US retains the authority to sanction individuals or entities threatening Syrian peace, security, stability, or territorial integrity, or those responsible for human rights abuses.
