Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara arrived in Washington, D.C., on Monday for a meeting with President Donald Trump. This marks the first high-level visit since al-Shara assumed office after the removal of Bashar al-Assad in December.
The Syrian News Channel reported that the two leaders engaged in formal negotiations, drawing significant attention from regional and international observers regarding potential agreements that could redefine Syria's role in the region.
Political analysts suggest that addressing terrorism and restoring stability will be key topics during this visit. This comes as the transitional government seeks to rebuild relations with major global powers that had distanced themselves from Damascus during Assad's tenure.
U.S. Special Envoy to Syria, Tom Barak, indicated that al-Shara might sign an agreement for Syria to officially join the international coalition against ISIS, which has been operational since 2014 and includes over 80 countries working together to combat the group militarily, financially, and logistically in Syria, Iraq, and beyond.
These discussions are viewed as an initial assessment of al-Shara's capacity to reintegrate Syria into the international community in the post-war context and to establish the country's position within the evolving regional power dynamics.
