WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump welcomed Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on Nov. 10 in the first visit by a Syrian leader to the White House.
Al-Sharaa took office in December 2024 after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, following a 13-year civil war that ended in victory for the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
The meeting comes six months after Trump and Sharaa met in Saudi Arabia and days after the United Nations and the United States lifted terrorism-related sanctions on the Syrian leader.
