In one of the most unexpected geopolitical developments of 2025, the U.S. President Donald Trump met with Syria’s new leader, Ahmad Al-Sharaa, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The summit, held on May 14, marks a turning point in U.S. involvement in the Middle East — both in diplomatic orientation and strategic […]
