Syria to join US-led coalition to defeat IS group after Trump meeting

Syria to join US-led coalition against Islamic State group after Trump meeting, marking a shift in US foreign policy in the Middle East. The move follows a meeting between President Trump and Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa at the White House, where they discussed cooperation and economic measures to lift restrictions on Syria. Al-Sharaa, the former jihadist leader who has transitioned to Syrian presidency, is working to rebuild Syria with foreign support, despite past affiliations with terrorist groups.
