** Donald Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia after agreeing to lift U.S. sanctions on Syria, despite concerns over al-Sharaa's past ties to Al Qaeda.
What This Means: ** This signals a potential shift in U.S. policy toward Syria, possibly easing tensions and opening diplomatic channels, though it may draw criticism due to al-Sharaa's controversial background. The move could influence broader Middle East geopolitics, particularly in relations with Gulf states and regional stability efforts.
