In a stunning diplomatic shift, US President Donald Trump hosted Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House — the first such meeting in nearly 80 years. The talks led to a 180-day suspension of key sanctions under the Caesar Act, marking a major policy reversal after the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Once a rebel commander linked to al-Qaeda, al-Sharaa has now been removed from the US terrorist list. Washington confirmed Syria will join the US-led coalition against the Islamic State, reopen its embassy in Washington, and explore closer ties with Israel — signalling a dramatic new chapter in US-Syria relations.
