DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – Syrian Transitional President Ahmad al-Sharaa met on Tuesday with a delegation of U.S. lawmakers from both the House of Representatives and the Senate in Damascus, according to a statement from the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The ministry said the meeting was attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and Interior Minister Anas Khattab.
