Just read the sanctions that this suspends (link) and from what I can tell the only things that these specific sanctions block are payment processing, foreign investment and purchasing property in Syria. They also include trading in Syrian petroleum products but the exemption doesn't allow that. The only useful thing the exemption allows is payment processing but that's already technically allowed in these specific sanctions, and this exemption only applies to the 2014 sanctions, not the more brutal Caesar Sanctions.

So it's along similar lines to when Biden pardoned federal marijuana convictions? Makes for a decent headline but ultimately does little to nothing
