"It was an Honor to spend time with Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, the new President of Syria, where we discussed all the intricacies of PEACE in the Middle East, of which he is a major advocate, wrote Trump in a Truth Social post. I look forward to meeting and speaking again. Everyone is talking about the Great Miracle that is taking place in the Middle East. Having a stable and successful Syria is very important to all countries in the Region."
"Prior to this, al-Sharaa fought as a jihadist in several designated terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda and the Al-Nusra Front which he led for five years and for a time worked with the Islamic State of Iraq. Al-Sharaa has been accused of engaging in war crimes, including genocide. In 2013, the U.S. State Department designated Al-Sharaa as a Global Terrorist, citing multiple suicide attacks throughout Syria that were carried out under his leadership."
