Summary
This order revises a prior Syria sanctions order by changing specific language and definitions. It removes a reference to Turkey’s recent military actions, replaces subsections to broaden who is treated as providing material, financial, or technological support to blocked persons, and strikes subsection 8(f).
People and organizations that provide support to already-blocked persons, or that are owned or controlled by them, are affected. The order says it does not change agency authorities and must be implemented consistent with law and available funding.
