"He's a very strong leader, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. He comes from a very tough place. Tough guy. I like him. I get along with the president, the new president in Syria, and we'll do everything we can to make Syria successful, because that's part of the Middle East."
"President Trump is delivering on his commitment to give Syria a chance at greatness' and to let them rebuild and thrive by lifting US sanctions and ensuring accountability for harmful actors."
US President Donald Trump met with Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House, marking the first US-Syria summit since 1946. The US announced a 180-day suspension of some sanctions under the Syria Civilian Protection Act (Caesar Act), which had targeted Syria's energy industry and deterred reconstruction investment. The suspension excludes transactions involving the governments of Russia and Iran and the transfer of goods, technology, software, funds, financing or services of Russian or Iranian origin. Sharaa is a former al-Qaida-aligned rebel fighter who had faced a $10 million bounty. The meeting follows the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's forces in December 2024.
