White House: Trump to meet with Sharaa in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday

The White House said that US President Donald Trump will meet with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

The White House said, "The president agreed to greet the Syrian president during his visit to Saudi Arabia tomorrow," according to the Associated Press.

Sharaa assumed the presidency of Syria for a transitional period after the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad last December, ending a civil war that lasted for nearly 13 years.

On Tuesday, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, discussed with Trump bilateral relations and coordination efforts to enhance the strategic partnership in various fields.

During their co-chairing of the Saudi-US summit at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh, the two sides discussed regional and international developments, issues of mutual interest, and efforts to achieve security and stability.

Trump was accorded an official reception at Al Yamamah Palace, where Arabian horses accompanied his procession, trumpets played to welcome him, and the US and Saudi national anthems were played.
