Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday to discuss improving bilateral relations and addressing key regional concerns, according to the Syrian presidency.
The meeting, which was attended by both countries' foreign ministers, focused on enhancing cooperation and tackling regional challenges, the Syrian presidency reported.
The talks come amid growing international scrutiny of Syria's geopolitical position and its relations with global powers. The meeting underscored the importance of improving diplomatic and economic ties between Syria and the United States, as both nations seek to navigate complex regional dynamics.
Details of the discussions between al-Sharaa and Trump remain largely undisclosed, but the Syrian presidency emphasised the mutual interest in addressing issues related to security, economic collaboration, and regional stability. The presence of foreign ministers from both sides suggests that the talks may also involve discussions on broader diplomatic strategies in the Middle East.
While the U.S. and Syria have had strained relations in recent years, marked by diplomatic tensions and differing approaches to conflicts in the region, the meeting signals a potential shift toward more constructive engagement. The two countries are expected to continue discussions on ways to enhance bilateral cooperation, with an emphasis on resolving key regional issues.
In addition to the talks with President Trump, President al-Sharaa's visit to Washington is seen as part of Syria's ongoing efforts to re-establish ties with the West following years of isolation due to the ongoing civil war and Bashar al-Assad's regime's policies.
The U.S. government has yet to release an official statement regarding the meeting, but the discussions between al-Sharaa and Trump could mark a pivotal moment in Syrian-U.S. relations, setting the stage for future diplomatic engagements in the region.
