Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa will meet with Donald Trump in Washington.

Syrian President Ahmed al Sharaa will make an official visit to the United States in November and will meet with Donald Trump, according to confirmation this Saturday by the U.S. special envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack, during a security conference held in Bahrain.

Barrack expressed his expectation that, in the context of this trip, Syria could join the international coalition led by Washington against the terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS).

The U.S. official replied affirmatively when asked about the possibility of a visit by Sharaa to the U.S. capital, and indicated that Syria's potential accession to the alliance will be one of the main topics of the meeting.

If it takes place, it would be the first visit of the Syrian leader to Washington and the second to U.S. territory, following his participation in the United Nations General Assembly in New York last September.

According to Reuters, Barrack stated that the Syrian leader "hopes" to formalize his commitment in the fight against ISIS, in a context where the United States seeks to bring Syria into an international coalition that, since 2014, has brought together multiple countries and regional actors.

The agenda of Syrian President Ahmed al Sharaa in the United States includes a meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump on November 10, according to The Jerusalem Post. The meeting represents a highly significant diplomatic shift for Syria, a country that had remained marginalized from the international scene during the government of Bashar al Assad.

U.S. sources confirmed that in recent weeks contacts have been maintained with representatives of the new Syrian government to coordinate its possible incorporation into the international coalition against Islamic State. In this regard, Tom Barrack reiterated from Bahrain the importance of the alliance and the purpose of "incorporating all possible actors."

After Assad's fall at the end of 2024, driven by Islamist rebel forces, al Sharaa's government sought to mark a clear break with the past and with former ties to Al Qaeda.

The party led by the new president, Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS), was removed from the list of terrorist organizations by Washington in July. Since then, Damascus has sought to project a more moderate image and establish new international alliances, a process confirmed by Western diplomats cited by Reuters.

Ahmed al Sharaa's foreign policy has become more active since he came to power, highlighted by his historic trip to Riyadh in May, where he met with Donald Trump.
