US President Donald Trump praised Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa following the Syrian army’s offensive against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Syria.

Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claim to have solved a significant problem in conjunction with Syria, without providing further details.
