The United States continues its aggressive policies against Syria and independent states by directly targeting them, by supporting terrorism, or by imposing illegal unilateral coercive economic measures on peoples and nations that do not follow the American orbit.
The coercive, multifaceted US economic measures that have affected the lives of the Syrian people and various service and economic sectors have been accompanied by Washington's continued support for terrorism and by various means since the beginning of the terrorist war against Syria and coincided with every victory of the Syrian Arab Army against terrorist organizations Washington's arms in the implementation of its black plans in Syria and the region.
Perhaps the last thing that the American terrorist mentality has is is Washington's threat to commercial companies or individuals who will participate in the 61st Damascus International Fair, which starts tomorrow with sanctions against them, according to a statement of the US Embassy in Damascus on its Facebook page saying that it “does not encourage commercial companies at all. Or individuals to participate in the exhibition, "adding that the United States" will continue with its allies to pressure the Syrian government by imposing harsh economic sanctions. "
The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the American threat and said in a statement today that Washington's attempts to disrupt the Damascus International Fair contradict the decisions of the international community on Syria .. We consider the continued US publicly to block the efforts of the Syrian leadership after the crisis on the reconstruction of the country is detrimental to the unity, sovereignty and safety of Syria It directly contradicts the letter and spirit of the international community's resolutions on Syria, including UN Security Council Resolution 2254.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a news conference yesterday that the US threat of sanctions against participants at the Damascus International Fair was "unacceptable."
The new US threat, if implemented, complements the unilateral coercive economic measures imposed by the United States against Syria in what observers believe is a new economic terrorism and a means to destabilize Syria after the failure of Washington's political interventions and military aggressive practices and support for terrorism.
The fate of Washington's threat to the companies participating in the Damascus International Fair is a failure as the exhibition takes a new momentum this year with 38 countries officially announcing their participation, while the reserved areas exceeded 100,000 square meters, the largest area in the history of the exhibition. The slogan (from Damascus to the world) carries basic messages showing the strength and recovery of the Syrian economy as evidenced by the increase in the number of companies participating by about 500 companies from last year.
