Syrian president meets US congressional delegation, Trump’s envoy in Ankara

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa met a delegation of US members of Congress and US envoy for Syria and Iraq Tom Barrack on Wednesday in the Turkish capital Ankara.

The Syrian Arab News Agency SANA said the meeting also included Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani.

The agency did not immediately disclose details of the discussions or identify the members of the US congressional delegation.
