US EditionSyria's President Al-Sharaa Arrives in US for Historic Visit & Meeting with Trump
Al-Sharaa was removed from the U.S. terrorism blacklist after cooperating on locating missing Americans and eliminating chemical weapons, aiding regional security efforts, State Department said.
- On Saturday, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa arrived in the United States for an official visit and is scheduled to meet President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday.
- The State Department framed the decision as aimed at promoting regional security and a Syrian-led political process after al-Sharaa's government met U.S. demands, spokesman Tommy Pigott said Friday.
- Once a militant leader, al-Sharaa led Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, previously affiliated with al-Qaeda, and his forces overthrew Bashar al-Assad last year.
- The visit positions al-Sharaa to seek reconstruction funds from the United States, with analysts noting this is the first Syrian presidential visit to the White House since 1946 and the World Bank estimating rebuilding costs at $216 billion.
- Planned security cooperation could include al-Sharaa joining the U.S.-led coalition, and a U.S. diplomatic source said Washington plans a military base near Damascus to coordinate aid and monitor developments.
