United States President Donald Trump is set to host Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House on Monday, November 10, marking a significant diplomatic meeting. The visit was confirmed by US press secretary Karoline Leavitt after initial reports from Trump's envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack, who expressed hope that Syria would join the United States-led coalition against the Islamic State group. This meeting follows a previous encounter between Trump and Sharaa in Saudi Arabia in May, which was the first meeting between leaders of the two countries in a quarter-century. Syria remains in the process of overcoming years of international isolation.
