Syrian President Sharaa Visits US, Meets President Trump Amid Sanctions Lift

Syria's leader, President Ahmed Sharaa, is visiting America and is meeting with President Trump.

This is a big deal because he used to be considered a global terrorist and had a large reward for his capture.

However, the United States has now removed his terrorist label.

Also, a group of countries at the United Nations voted to lift sanctions against President Sharaa and his interior minister.

This means travel bans and asset freezes on them have been removed.

Some countries see this as a positive step for Syria entering a 'new era.'

The visit comes after Syria reported detaining suspected members of the Islamic State group.

While most countries agreed to lift sanctions, China abstained, expressing worries about not enough being done to fight terrorism.

Even though he was once a global target, President Sharaa is now shaking hands with the US President to build stronger relations.
