Attractive and Strong: Trump praises Al-Sharaa after historic meeting
Published May 14th, 2025 - 10:44 GMT ALBAWABA - After their high-profile meeting in Riyadh on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump praised Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, calling him a 'charming, strong-built young leader' with a 'powerful past.' Amid mounting rumors that Washington may improve ties with Damascus, the meeting is the first formal meeting between an American president and a Syrian in 25 years. Trump told reporters on Air Force One on the way to Qatar that the discussions went "very well" and made a suggestion about potential future collaboration. The notion of Syria joining the Abraham Accords was considered, he said, adding that Al-Sharaa had a "real opportunity to preserve Syria's unity." Trump claims that while Al-Sharaa indicated an interest in signing the deal, it stressed that Syria must first "fix its internal situation." Important items mentioned at the discussion were subsequently verified by the White House. Trump urged Al-Sharaa to drive out Palestinian groups that Washington has designated as terrorist groups from Syria. Additionally, he called on Damascus to back American initiatives to stop the Islamic State (ISIS) from resurrecting. In exchange, President Al-Sharaa allegedly extended an invitation to American businesses to participate in Syria's gas and oil industries, suggesting a possible avenue for U.S. economic engagement in Syria after the conflict. According to reports, al-Sharaa, a founding member of Jabhat al-Nusra, a group that swore loyalty to al-Qaeda, split from the group in 2016. Washington has taken notice of his political ascent and present transitional leadership, especially as Syria goes through a delicate period of rebuilding and realignment. BREAKING: Trump just said Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is a "Young, attractive guy, tough guy. Strong past, very strong past — fighter. He's got a real shot at holding it together." This man killed American troops in Iraq. He was part of Al-qaeda. He killed civilians, women… — Ed Krassenstein (@EdKrassen) May 14, 2025 Improving the situation in Syria is a "humanitarian and security necessity," according to U.S. Special Envoy Michael Mitchell, and the State Department said the Trump-Al-Sharaa meeting sent "clear and direct messages." President Trump's Gulf visit, which includes stops in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, coincides with the summit. Leaders in the region have endorsed the action. The UAE formally welcomed the decision of sanctions relief for Syria, while the King of Bahrain praised Trump for advancing peace and removing sanctions. Additionally, Trump said that he had discussed Syria with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and that he was amenable to wider collaboration. The meeting is generally seen as a possible watershed in U.S.-Syria relations and an indication that, under Al-Sharaa's leadership, Washington may be adjusting its position on Damascus. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Al-Safadi: Our Support for Syria is Unconditional, and Its Stability is a Pillar for Regional Stability - Jordan News
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Al-Safadi said on Monday that Syria's stability is a cornerstone for regional stability, and that ensuring the Syrian people's right to a safe and dignified life after years of suffering is a priority for Jordan, which will spare no effort in achieving this goal. اضافة اعلان Al-Safadi emphasized during a joint press conference with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shabani that today's meeting reflected unified positions regarding support for the Syrian brothers and assisting them in achieving security and stability. He reaffirmed Jordan's unconditional support for Syria, standing by it in the face of any threat to its security and stability. Al-Safadi also noted that the meeting discussed practical steps to support Syria, including helping to activate institutions, build capacities, and establish economic, trade, and investment relations that will benefit all countries involved. He explained that the participants also discussed mechanisms to combat ISIS and terrorism in all its forms, as terrorism is a threat not only to Syria but to everyone in the region. Al-Safadi stated that the biggest challenges currently targeting Syria's security and stability are external, foremost among them being the renewed Israeli aggression against Syria. He emphasized Israel's attempts to interfere in Syrian affairs and sow discord and division within the country. This, he said, is something that Jordan rejects and addresses by explaining its dangers to the world.
