These conditions reportedly include ensuring foreigners do not hold senior management roles.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Two individuals, an American official and a Syrian source knowledgeable about the matter, told the news agency that US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Levant and Syria Natasha Franceschi conveyed the list of demands during a face-to-face meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaybani. The meeting took place at the Syria donors conference in Brussels on March 18.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The sources indicated that the conditions put forward by the US include Syria &#8220;destroying its remaining chemical weapons stockpiles&#8221; and &#8220;cooperating in the fight against terrorism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Additionally, American officials and one source in Washington stated that another demand involves ensuring foreign militants are not appointed to senior government positions within Syria&#8217;s administrative structure. Criticism had previously arisen over Syria&#8217;s appointment of thousands of foreign militants\u2014including Uyghurs, Jordanians, Chechens, and individuals of other nationalities\u2014to the defense ministry.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">According to two sources, Washington also requested that Syria appoint a liaison officer to assist in efforts to locate US journalist Austin Tice, who disappeared in Syria more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The source also indicated that the US wants Syria to issue a statement supporting its own territorial integrity.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Washington reportedly did not provide a specific timeline for the fulfillment of these conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">While the HTS administration has not commented on the matter, the US State Department stated, &#8220;We do not discuss our private diplomatic conversations publicly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce mentioned last week that Washington is monitoring the actions of the interim administrators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to six sources speaking to Reuters, the US has presented Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which seized power in Syria, with a list of conditions to fulfill in exchange for partial sanctions relief.
