Summary

President Donald Trump welcomed Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa to the White House Monday, the first Syrian President to visit in decades, in what officials describe as a historic step in U.S.-Syria relations. The visit focused on counterterrorism cooperation, economic development and advancing regional peace and security. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said Kazakhstan will join the Abraham Accords, with more nations expected to follow in normalizing relations with Israel. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Dr. Qanta Ahmed, journalist, expert on Muslim radicalism and a NYU Langone sleep disorder specialist, who was just in the Iraqi Kurdistan region meeting with leaders who may have an important role in U.S.-Syria relations.
