Ahmed al-Sharaa becomes the first Syrian president to visit the White House on Monday, capping an extraordinary turnaround for the former al Qaeda operative who is now leading efforts to end his country’s international isolation. Sharaa will push for the permanent lifting of sanctions on Syria when he meets with US President Donald Trump, who hopes in return to bring Damascus into the Abraham Accords normalising ties between Israel and several Arab states.
