Save the Kurds Act

The "Save the Kurds Act" maintains U.S. sanctions on Syria by requiring congressional approval before the President can terminate Syria's "state sponsor of terrorism" designation, redesignating Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham as a foreign terrorist organization, and imposing sanctions on Syrian government officials and financial institutions. It prohibits U.S. investments in Syria, restricts financial transactions with Syrian entities, bans certain energy exports to Syria, and includes exceptions for humanitarian aid. The bill would automatically suspend sanctions if Syria stops attacking Kurdish forces, but would expire after five years. This legislation directly affects Syrian government entities, financial institutions, and U.S. persons engaging in transactions with Syria.
