U.S. Treasury reportedly held talks on reconnecting Syria’s banks to global finance

A post says the U.S. Treasury met Syria’s finance minister and central bank governor in New York on October 1, with American banks and payment firms attending. The talks focused on correspondent banking, which would let Syrian banks send and receive money through the formal system. The post says banks still need compliance gaps closed before moving forward, despite Trump having lifted virtually all U.S. sanctions on Syria.
