"I had a great conversation with the highly respected president of Syria, and all of the things having to do with Syria and that area, Trump told reporters. It's working out very well, so we're very happy about it, the US president said. A statement from the Syrian presidency said that al-Sharaa had emphasised to Trump Syria's full commitment to its territorial integrity and its national sovereignty and the state's keenness to preserve its institutions and promote civil peace."
"Trump later told Fox News that he and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had solved a tremendous problem in conjunction with Syria, without providing further details. The SDF said on January 18 that its forces had withdrawn from the northeastern Syrian cities of Raqqa and Deir Az Zor, following the Syrian army's offensive. The announcement was met with mixed reactions from the cities' residents."

Trump spoke with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa before al-Sharaa's departure for Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin. The Syrian presidency said al-Sharaa emphasised Syria's commitment to territorial integrity, national sovereignty, preserving institutions, and promoting civil peace, and warned against the return of terrorist groups including ISIL. Trump told Fox News he and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had solved a tremendous problem. The SDF announced withdrawal from Raqqa and Deir Az Zor, prompting mixed local reactions, and a US envoy said the SDF's role as the primary anti-ISIS force had largely expired.
