Summary
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa met with US Congressman Cory Mills in Damascus, marking the first meeting between al-Sharaa and a US legislator since he took office. The discussions focused on Syria’s need for stability and potential relief from sanctions, as al-Sharaa seeks to rebuild the nation after 14 years of civil war. Mills, accompanied by fellow Congressman Marlin Stutzman, also met with Syria’s Foreign Minister and emphasized the importance of transitioning towards a democratically elected society, which may influence future US-Syria relations.
