Syria’s New Leader Meets Trump at the White House Amid Policy Debates

Major political shifts are unfolding in the Middle East and Washington. Ahmed Al-Sharaa, now recognized as Syria's transitional president, was recently welcomed at the White House by Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire has raised concerns over domestic policies and international deals proposed by the administration.

Syria's leadership change has drawn global attention. After Bashar al-Assad's fall, Ahmed Al-Sharaa took office as transitional president. His visit to the White House signals a new direction in US-Syria relations.

Al-Sharaa's recognition as Syria's transitional leader and his White House meeting mark a turning point in US foreign policy. At home, Senator Shaheen continues to push back against administration proposals, both in domestic spending and international agreements. The coming months will likely see further debate over these issues in Congress and beyond.
