donald trump has become the first US President to publicly meet a former declared terrorist leader. He met Syria's interim President ahmed al-Sharaa, who was earlier known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani. He has been the head of the notorious terrorist organization Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which was associated with al-Qaeda. It was declared a terrorist organization by the US.
This meeting took place when the US announced the removal of years-old sanctions on Syria. All this was possible because Saudi Arabia's Crown prince Mohammed bin salman had appealed to trump to do so. During the meeting, trump said about ahmed al-Sharaa that he is a young, attractive, tough person. In this way, he publicly supported the former terrorist. Earlier, trump had announced a ceasefire between india and Pakistan.
