President Trump met with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, invited by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Turkey’s President Erdogan joined via phone.

A few key takeaways:

Erdogan praised Trump for lifting sanctions on Syria and committed to working with Saudi Arabia toward peace.

MBS called Trump’s move “courageous.”

Trump thanked both leaders and challenged Al-Sharaa to make history for Syria.

Trump laid out 5 clear steps for Syria:

1️⃣ Join the Abraham Accords

2️⃣ Expel all foreign terrorist fighters

3️⃣ Deport Palestinian terror elements

4️⃣ Cooperate with the U.S. to stop ISIS 2.0

5️⃣ Take charge of ISIS detention centers in NE Syria

President Al-Sharaa expressed his support for U.S. efforts, noted the chance for real change with Iran pulling back, and emphasized Syria’s potential as an east-west trade hub. He also welcomed U.S. companies to invest in Syrian oil and gas.

They also discussed the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

Big moves—if even half of this materializes, the regional dynamics shift fast.
