WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Monday imposed sanctions on officials, entities and individuals it accused of providing support to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as Washington continued its efforts to cut off funds for Assad’s government.
The action, which also targeted the Syrian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, aims to push Assad’s government back toward United Nations-led negotiations and broker an end to the country’s nearly decade-long war.
The U.S. Treasury Department in a statement said it slapped sanctions on Syrian military officials, members of the parliament, and government entities, as well as on Syrian and Lebanese people it accused of attempting to revive Syria’s petroleum industry.
