IBTimes: Obama waives restrictions on military support to foreign forces 'to combat terrorism in Syria'
The waiver will allow exceptions from provisions in the four-decades-old Arms Export Control Act.
The White House on Thursday (8 December) announced a new waiver order by President Barack Obama that would lift restrictions on military support for foreign forces and others in Syria if considered "essential to the national security interests of the United States".
The changes, which would allow "foreign forces, irregular forces, groups, or individuals" fighting for the interests of the US to be able to access military assistance, were pursuant to the four-decades-old Arms Export Control Act.
