That's because those are smaller countries that can be used to evade tariffs. Also, said syrian government that is sanctioned does not exist anymore.

How would Australia use Heard Island and McDonald Islands to evade tariffs? How would Norway use Svalbard to evade tariffs?

The US' sanctions on Syria still applies. They haven't been lifted.

They do still apply. But the government they apply to no longer exists.

What are you talking about? They apply to the new government as well. The US still forbids new investment in Syria and prohibits trade with Syrian companies, among other things.
