Syria Joins Coalition Against IS Group Following Trump Meeting

Syria will join the international coalition against the Islamic State, marking a significant shift in US foreign policy, confirmed during President Trump’s historic meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The US will lift economic restrictions on Syria, including a suspension of the Caesar Act sanctions, as al-Sharaa seeks to rebrand his leadership following his controversial past. Trump expressed confidence in al-Sharaa’s ability to lead Syria towards success while emphasizing a focus on future cooperation. Diplomatic relations, suspended since 2012, will be restored, allowing Syria to reopen its embassy in Washington.
