Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is scheduled to visit United States President Donald Trump at the White House on 10 November, marking the first visit by a Syrian head of state to the White House. The visit would be a vital step in international diplomacy for President al-Sharaa, head of the transitional Syrian government, who has sought to re-establish Syrian ties with the world. The leaders are expected to discuss Syria’s joining the US-led coalition against the Islamic State and improved diplomatic ties, which are likely to have a significant impact on regional stability in the Middle East.
