US EditionMoment Trump Sprays Syrian President with Cologne and Asks ‘How Many Wives?’
- On Monday, Nov. 10, U.S. President Donald Trump met Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House, gifting perfume and joking, `And the other one is for your wife`, then asking, `How many wives?`
- Previously identified as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist,' Al-Sharaa toppled Bashar al-Assad nearly a year ago and has traveled internationally since last week.
- A viral clip on social media showed President Trump joking with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, prompting Vice President J.D. Vance to praise Trump's "amazing comedic timing" and call it "meta-humor" in a MAHA summit interview Wednesday.

- The meeting represents a historic diplomatic shift given that the Washington meeting was the first between Syrian and U.S. leaders since 1946, with Al-Sharaa working to rebuild Syria and reshape counterterrorism cooperation and regional policy.
