It also follows recent speculation that Syria could become involved militarily in neighboring Lebanon, where fighting between Israel and Hezbollah continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, al-Sharaa dismissed the possibility of Syrian military involvement in Lebanon. In June, he said Damascus was focused on strengthening economic cooperation with Beirut rather than pursuing military engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al-Sharaa said at the time that he is &#8220;looking for economic channels between Lebanon and Syria, not military ones.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump hosted the Syrian president at the White House last year, marking a significant step in efforts to restore ties between Washington and Damascus after years of strained relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, the White House said Trump will also meet Ukraine&#8217;s Zelenskyy to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine. A senior U.S. official said Trump is expected to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin following the meeting as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach a negotiated settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Ster Youssef<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The White House on Sunday announced U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet Syrian Transitional President Ahmad al-Sharaa on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkey on Wednesday.
