The 42-year-old Al-Sharaa met with Trump in the presence of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, who joined via video conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1902\" data-end=\"2430\">The newspaper reported that Al-Sharaa&#8217;s stance against Iran brings him closer to Washington. He has previously criticized Tehran&#8217;s influence and its affiliated groups in the Middle East, accusing them of destabilizing the region. Last year, he claimed Iran\u2019s influence had diminished by 40 years after the fall of Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime and the collapse of its army. In an interview with an Arabic TV channel, he said, &#8220;By removing the militias and preventing Iranian influence in Syria, we serve the interests of the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2432\" data-end=\"2532\">Trump told Gulf leaders that he was &#8220;honored&#8221; to lift sanctions on Syria to give it &#8220;a fresh start.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2534\" data-end=\"2698\">While aboard Air Force One on his way to Doha, Trump told reporters that Al-Sharaa is &#8220;young, attractive, tough, with a strong past, a very strong past, a fighter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17430\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17430\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17430 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/8999-3.jpg\" alt=\"Trump Urges Syrian President to Manage ISIS Detention Centers During Gulf Summit Preparations\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/8999-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/8999-3-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/8999-3-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17430\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trump Urges Syrian President to Manage ISIS Detention Centers During Gulf Summit Preparations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"2534\" data-end=\"2698\">Al-Sharaa\u2019s Shift from Al-Qaeda to Diplomacy: Trump\u2019s Support for Syria\u2019s Potential Role in Abraham Accords<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2700\" data-end=\"3060\">Al-Sharaa spent years fighting Americans in Iraq and was imprisoned in one of their facilities there. However, in 2016, he announced his separation from Al-Qaeda, although the U.S. had placed a $10 million reward for information leading to his capture. The Biden administration canceled the reward in December after his meeting with U.S. officials in Damascus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3062\" data-end=\"3250\">Trump said that Al-Sharaa &#8220;has a chance to unify Syria.&#8221; He added, &#8220;I spoke with Erdo\u011fan, who treats him warmly, and he said that Al-Sharaa has a chance to do well. It\u2019s a broken country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3252\" data-end=\"3477\">Trump also believes that Syria will eventually join the Abraham Accords: &#8220;I think they need to improve their situation. I told him: I hope you join when the situation improves. He said yes. But they have a lot of work to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3479\" data-end=\"3845\">When asked whether there was any discussion about potentially building a &#8220;Trump Tower&#8221; in Damascus after Al-Sharaa informed intermediaries of the possibility, Trump replied: &#8220;No, I haven\u2019t heard about that. We have to wait a bit for things to calm down in the country. I think he has the potential; he\u2019s a real leader. He led a campaign, and he\u2019s really impressive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14910\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14910\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14910 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0-7.jpg\" alt=\"Trump Syria meeting\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0-7.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0-7-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14910\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S.-Syria relation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3847\" data-end=\"4047\">Trump urged Syria to cooperate with the U.S. on counterterrorism issues, including deporting &#8220;Palestinian terrorists&#8221; and taking responsibility for the prisons holding ISIS members and their families.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4049\" data-end=\"4361\">The Times understands that Al-Sharaa does not plan to challenge Israel\u2019s control over the Golan Heights, a strategically important area occupied by Israel in 1967, nor the buffer zone it created after the collapse of Assad\u2019s regime.
