The US is expected to announce new measures to lift economic restrictions on Syria.
This after US President Donald Trump met Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House, the first such visit from a Syrian leader in the country's history.
Trump has expressed his support for al-Sharaa, who until recently was designated a terrorist by the US government.
Syria will now join the international coalition to combat the Islamic State group.
It will be the 90th country to join the coalition, which aimed at eliminating remaining elements of the Islamic State and stemming the flow of foreign militants to the Middle East.
Al-Sharaa's administration has been marred by killings of members of Syria's Aklawite minority, as well as by deadly violence between Sunni Bedouin fighters and Druze militias.
