Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is set to make a historic visit to the White House. This visit will be the first official visit by a Syrian leader in 80 years.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated that this meeting is part of diplomatic efforts aimed at promoting global peace. The visit is expected to open a new chapter in the relations between the two countries.

Trump and al-Sharaa broke a 25-year silence between the two leaders during a meeting in Saudi Arabia last May. This meeting came during a historic decision to lift sanctions imposed on Syria.

Al-Sharaa took office as the interim president after Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia in 2024, promising to rebuild the country. This visit is of great importance for Syria's re-establishment on the international stage.

This step towards re-establishing relations between Syria and the US could contribute to the peace process in the region. The outcomes of the visit are eagerly awaited.
