"For his part, Trump heaped praise on al-Sharaa after the meeting. He comes from a very tough place, and he's a tough guy. I like him, Trump said of the Syrian president. We'll do everything we can to make Syria successful because that's part of the Middle East. We have peace now in the Middle East the first time that anyone can remember that ever happening. Trump has been claiming that the US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza has brought historic peace to the Middle East."
Interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa visited Washington and met President Donald Trump while the United States issued a waiver lifting major sanctions on Syria. The waiver suspends the Caesar Act sanctions and accompanies talks aimed at strengthening bilateral relations, economic ties, and regional cooperation. Trump praised al-Sharaa and expressed US willingness to support Syrian success, framing the Gaza ceasefire as historic Middle East peace. Al-Sharaa reportedly led opposition fighters to overthrow Bashar al-Assad and became the first Syrian president to visit the White House after previously meeting Trump in Saudi Arabia when sanctions relief was first signaled.
