US President Donald Trump is hosting Syria's interim president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, at the White House on Monday, the first visit by a Syrian head of state since independence in 1946, as Damascus is expected to officially join the US-led coalition against the so-called Islamic State group.
" Part of the president's diplomatic efforts to meet with anyone around the world in search of peace ," White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said of the visit.
The meeting follows their May meeting in Saudi Arabia, the first official US-Syrian contact since Bill Clinton met Hafez Assad in 2000.
Trump described al-Sharaa after the meeting in Riyadh as a “young, attractive guy. Strong guy. Strong background, very strong background. Fighter.” The US president recently said that al-Sharaa is “doing a very good job so far” and that “a lot of progress has been made with Syria” since Washington eased sanctions.
The talks are expected to see Damascus officially join the US-led coalition against ISIS, a move that will allow it to work more closely with American armed forces.
