In a historic diplomatic development, Syrian Foreign Minister Asad al-Shaibani has confirmed that President Ahmed al-Sharaa will visit the White House in early November, the first-ever official visit by a Syrian president to Washington. The visit, expected around November 10, marks a potential turning point in U.S.–Syria relations, as both nations look to open “a new chapter” focused on reconstruction, lifting sanctions, and rebuilding ties after years of estrangement.
