On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a significant engagement with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, marking a potential pivot in U.S. diplomatic strategy in the region.
The United States has been actively involved in shuttle diplomacy to secure a lasting ceasefire and political settlement in Syria. The discussions with al-Sharaa suggest a realignment of U.S. alliances.
This move indicates a shift from Washington's previous support of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces to a more collaborative approach with the current Syrian regime under President al-Sharaa.
