The United States on Monday formally removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a move Secretary of State Marco Rubio said eliminates the final major barriers to investment and economic recovery in the country. Rubio said in a statement that he had authorized the formal rescission after a mandatory 45-day congressional notification period ended. President Donald Trump had initiated the countdown in July after confirming to Congress that Syria’s government had ceased supporting acts of international terrorism. "I have also delisted Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) designation as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT)," Rubio said Monday. "These...

The post came hour after an interview with "The Morning Rush with Bill Carroll" in Ottawa in which Ford said that Trump could 'kiss my *ss". At a news conference in Hamilton on Monday afternoon, Ford initially said that he wouldn't respond to a 'dictator' and...
