The art of the deal? Social media made fun of Donald Trump to meet former American named terrorist. world News
US President Donald Trump exploded the internet after meeting with Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Shara at Riyadh, marking the first straight engagement between the leaders of the two countries in 25 years. The meeting held on the occasion of a Gulf Cooperation Council Summit was seen as a dramatic change in the US foreign policy and a potentially defined moment in the Syrian post-Assad era.Particularly striking made the encounter a past of al-shara. East was known as Abu Mohammad al-Golani, he was earlier associated with al-Qaeda-linked terrorist groups and fought against the US forces in Iraq. He was captured by American soldiers for several years before emerging as the leader of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, which seized Damascus earlier this year and brought down the Assad rule.Trump’s decision to overcome the long -term US sanctions on Syria, started the ceremony in Syrian cities. With the expectation of economic relief and renewed foreign investment, state media broadcast footage of public functions, flag-wave and fireworks in Damascus and Aleppo. The restrictions, some of which had been since 1979, had long separated Syria from global markets and credit systems.
The meeting was closed for the press, but the White House officials confirmed that it lasted for more than 30 minutes and included Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Taip Erdoan, who joined via phone. Trump allegedly used the opportunity to recognize Syria to Israel, to get foreign fighters out of their territory, and currently under the control of Islamic State prisoners under control of prisons run by Syrian democratic forces with Kurdish-Left Syrian democratic forces.The development comes from the Gulf Arab states after a calm support for months for the government of Al-Shra, which has demanded to combat the Iranian influence in the region by supporting the new leadership of Syria. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have advocated the renovation of Syria in Arab diplomacy under the new regime, given a Suni-numbered imbalance for Tehran’s regional ambitions in Al-Shara.Here is how social media users reacted: In particular, the move has made the relationship with Israel tense, which warned the US against legalizing the new Syrian government. Israeli officials are worried that the Islamist roots of Al-Shra and military past may result in future instability or convenience of goal-limit attacks.Inside Syria, the Ministry of External Affairs welcomed lifting restrictions as a sign of a major twist point and international recognition for new leadership. With the years of a socialist economic heritage and war -time devastation, Syria is required immediately for capital infusion, reconstruction aid, and renewed access to oil revenue to oil revenue – which may be possible under all new economic arrangements.
The tour of the Middle East of Trump, including traveling to Saudi Arabia, Egypt and UAE, has focused on re -shaping regional alignment. Their move on Syria is part of a comprehensive repetition with the aim of pulling the direct American military partnership and encouraging local powers to take responsibility for security and governance.As such reactions were made online, many comments reflected the speed of the meeting and deep discomfort on symbolism. Some called it a betrayal of previous anti -terrorism commitments, while others described it as a bold realpolitic maneuver that could unlock the regional stability. The debate highlighted how soon the former opponents could be rebuilt as potential partners in a shifting geopitical scenario.Trump-al-showing handshake can become one of the most controversial images of this presidential post-one which will not only be remembered what it is diplomatically symbols, but also for questions raised about memory, morality and alliance’s mutation.
