US EditionTrump vows to do everything he can to help Syria after landmark talks with Sharaa
- On Monday, President Donald Trump welcomed Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa to the White House, marking the first Syrian head-of-state visit and pausing U.S. sanctions on Syria for 180 days.
- Ahmed al-Sharaa arrived in Washington bearing a complex past and a new title, having led rebel forces that toppled Bashar al-Assad last December and became interim president in January despite a $10 million U.S. bounty.
- The U.S. Congress holds the power to make the sanctions change permanent, with the Caesar Act suspended but still sanctioning Russia and Iran; Sen. Jeanne Shaheen seeks unconditional repeal, while Sen. Lindsey Graham proposes six-month reviews.
- Officials say Syria's entry into the coalition will expand counterterrorism cooperation, enabling closer ties with U.S. forces in the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State, which includes 80 countries.
- Looking ahead: Rebuilding Syria will cost $600-$900 billion, and Ahmed al-Sharaa will press the international community and U.S. Congress for sanctions repeal amid ongoing Israeli security tensions.
