Description

United States President Donald Trump has held talks with Syria’s interim leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, at the White House as the Treasury Department announced suspending sanctions against Damascus for a further six months. The meeting on Monday capped a stunning year for al-Sharaa, a 43-year-old former al-Qaeda commander who toppled the longtime autocratic leader of Syria, Bashar al-Assad last December.
