YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

US President Donald Trump had tea with a former jihadist who until recently had a $10 million US bounty on his head. Interim Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, once known by his militant nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, met Trump in Riyadh six months after leading a swift campaign that toppled the half-a-century-old Assad regime, ejecting Iran-backed armed groups and declaring himself leader of the country. #CNN #News
