Syria's AL-Sharaa In US For Talks With Trump | Plays Basketball In Washington

Syria’s new president Ahmed al-Sharaa has arrived in Washington for his first official visit, just one day after the U.S removed him from its terrorism blacklist. Once branded a rebel commander and extremist, Sharaa is now being welcomed as an ally. He shared a video of himself shooting hoops with top U.S military leaders. It's a striking image of how far he’s come. The former most wanted terrorist meets Donald Trump on Monday. The duo is expected to seal Syria’s entry into the U.S.-led alliance against ISIS. Officials say the move marks a 'new era' in relations. This, as Washington eyes stability and reconstruction in post-war Syria.
