Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara has arrived at the White House to meet with US President Donald Trump, marking the first visit by a Syrian leader.
President Donald Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara. This will be the first time a Syrian leader has visited the White House.
Al-Shara is expected to sign an agreement with 88 countries to overthrow ISIS.
US President Donald Trump announced that he has begun talks with Syrian Interim President Ahmed al-Shara at the White House.
The two leaders are meeting behind closed doors, and no joint press conference or statement is expected following the talks.
As previously reported by the White House press pool, al-Shara plans to discuss with the American leader the possibility of Syria joining the international coalition fighting ISIS and the potential easing of US sanctions during his visit.
The pool also notes that al-Shara’s visit holds symbolic significance and could signal a reassessment of Washington’s policy toward Damascus after years of sanctions and attempts at international isolation.
Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Shara (also known as Ahmad al-Sharaa) met with US President Donald Trump at the White House today (November 10, 2025). This marked the first time a Syrian leader has visited the White House since Syria’s independence in 1946.
The meeting is part of al-Shara’s official visit to Washington and follows up on the two leaders’ first meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in May 2025.
