Trump Hails Syria’s ‘Tough’ Ex-Jihadist President After Historic White House Talks
Speaking to reporters after their historic meeting in the Oval Office, President Trump praised Syria’s leader Ahmed al-Sharaa as a “strong leader” from a “tough place.”
Once a wanted terrorist with a $10 million bounty on his head, al-Sharaa has now emerged as part of Trump’s broader Middle East peace plan, which the administration hopes will help sustain the fragile ceasefire in Gaza.
