周三上午，唐纳德·特朗普总统在访问沙特阿拉伯利雅得期间会见了叙利亚新领导人艾哈迈德·沙拉总统，并正在“探讨与这个饱受战争蹂躏的国家恢复关系正常化”。
土耳其总统雷杰普·埃尔多安通过电话与会，沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼·阿勒沙特亲自陪同特朗普和沙拉总统会面。
此次会晤是25年来美国和叙利亚领导人的首次会晤。
特朗普在前往卡塔尔的空军一号上告诉记者，与沙拉总统的会晤“非常顺利”，并称这位42岁的总统“年轻、有魅力”。
特朗普在周三上午会见海湾合作委员会成员时也表示，此次会晤进展顺利。
特朗普说，“终止对叙利亚的制裁，让他们重新开始。这给了他们一个成就伟大的机会。制裁确实造成了严重的后果。”
特朗普宣布，“我们目前正在探索与叙利亚新政府恢复正常关系。”
作为其中的一部分，美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥正在与叙利亚外长会晤。
白宫在会晤记录中表示，特朗普告诉阿尔·沙雷，“他有巨大的机会在他的国家做出一些历史性的事情”。
总统还向阿尔·沙雷提供了一长串目标，包括敦促叙利亚“与以色列签署《亚伯拉罕协议》，要求所有外国恐怖分子离开叙利亚，驱逐巴勒斯坦恐怖分子，帮助美国防止ISIS死灰复燃，并承担ISIS在叙利亚东北部拘留中心的责任”。
President Donald Trump met with Syria‘s new leader, President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Wednesday morning during his trip to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and is ‘exploring normalization’ with the war-torn nation.
President Recep Erdogan of Turkey joined by phone while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud joined Trump and al-Sharaa in person.
The sitdown was the first encounter between the American and Syrian leaders in 25 years.
Trump told reporters on Air Force One en route to Qatar that the meeting with al-Sharaa went ‘great,’ calling the 42-year-old a ‘young, attractive guy.’
Trump had also indicated the meeting went well during his meeting with the Gulf Cooperation Council Wednesday morning.
‘The cessation of sanctions against Syria to give them a fresh start. It gives them a chance for greatness,’ Trump said. ‘The sanctions were really crippling.’
‘We are currently exploring normalizing with Syria’s new government,’ Trump announced.
As part of that, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is meeting with his Syrian counterpart.
Trump told Al-Sharaa ‘that he has a tremendous opportunity to do something historic in his country,’ the White House said in its readout of the meeting.
The president also gave Al-Sharaa a laundry list of objectives, including urging Syria to ‘sign onto the Abraham Accords with Israel, tell all foreign terrorists to leave Syria, deport Palestinian terrorists, help the United States to prevent the resurgence of ISIS, and assume responsibility for ISIS detention centers in Northeast Syria.’
