80-Year Freeze Is OVER: Trump's Shock White House Summit with Syrian Leader Could End Sanctions for Good
White House Prepares for Unprecedented Diplomatic Showdown
WASHINGTON – In a stunning diplomatic maneuver that is set to send shockwaves across the globe, United States President Donald Trump will host Syria’s interim leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, for a historic summit at the White House. The high-stakes meeting, slated for November 10, will shatter decades of political ice, marking the first time a Syrian president has been officially welcomed to the U.S. capital in over 80 years.
The bombshell confirmation came from Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, who revealed the groundbreaking plans during a speech in Bahrain on Sunday. He framed the visit as a pivotal moment destined to completely reshape the fraught relationship between the two nations.
"President Ahmed al-Sharaa will be at the White House at the start of November," al-Shaibani announced, underscoring the visit's immense significance. "Of course, this is a historic visit. It is the first visit by a Syrian president to the White House in more than 80 years."
What's on the Table? A 'New Chapter' and a 'Strong Partnership'
Sources indicate the agenda is ambitious and aims for nothing less than a total reset of diplomatic ties. According to al-Shaibani, the primary goal is to turn the page on a long history of animosity and forge a new, cooperative future. The biggest item on the docket? The potential dismantling of crippling economic sanctions against Damascus.
"There will be many issues on the table, starting with the lifting of sanctions and opening of a new chapter between the United States and Syria," the foreign minister explained. He boldly declared the ultimate objective: "We want to establish a very strong partnership between the two countries."
This dramatic pivot in foreign policy suggests that intense back-channel negotiations, reportedly involving key figures like U.S. envoy to Syria Tom Barrack, have paved the way for this unprecedented encounter. As the date approaches, all eyes will be on Washington to see if this audacious diplomatic gamble can truly thaw a relationship that has been frozen for nearly a century and redefine the future of the Middle East.
