Transitional Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has arrived in the... United States on an official visit During the trip, he played basketball with senior U.S. generals — CENTCOM chief Brad Cooper and coalition commander against ISIS Kevin Lambert.

Al-Sharaa is expected to meet President Donald Trump to push for the complete lifting of sanctions on Syria. Trump, meanwhile, seeks to bring Damascus into the coalition against ISIS and other militant groups. The U.S. still has about 2,000 troops in northeastern Syria, but Washington hopes to eventually transfer security duties to local forces. According to media reports, the U.S. is also considering stationing troops in Damascus and is pressuring the Syrian government to finalize a security pact with Israel, despite Tel Aviv’s tough conditions. After his U.S. visit, al-Sharaa will travel to Berlin for talks with Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

In this video, President Ahmed al-Sharaa reveals the defining... moment of courage that changed Syria’s destiny. As his forces launched the final offensive against the collapsing Assad regime, Russia delivered a blunt ultimatum: “Stop at this point. Take what you have already seized and leave the rest. Otherwise, Russia will militarily escalate against the forces of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.” At that critical crossroads, President al-Sharaa read the situation with crystal clarity. He saw the Assad regime was on the brink of total collapse. He refused to back down. Ignoring Russia’s threats, he ordered his forces to push forward relentlessly - and ultimately liberated Syria. His strategic calculation proved absolutely correct. Instead of escalating militarily as they had vowed, Russian President Vladimir Putin was forced to accept the new Syrian reality. In a stunning reversal, Putin hosted President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the Kremlin not once, but twice. True leadership. Bold vision. Historic victory.show more
