President Trump is to meet the Islamist leader of Syria amid reports a Trump Tower could be built in Damascus as part of desperately-needed investment.

Despite still being designated a terrorist by the US, Ahmed al-Sharaa is scheduled to hold talks with the president in Riyadh on Tuesday, hosted by Mohammed Bin Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince.

The meeting, on the opening day of Mr Trump’s visit to the Middle East, could offer a lifeline to the country’s new regime.

The 42-year-old Syrian leader has reportedly offered Mr Trump investment opportunities, including a Trump tower in Damascus, and is seeking US sanctions relief.

The meeting is likely to cause concern in Israel, which has consistently referred to Mr al-Sharaa as a “terrorist in a suit”.

President Trump says he will be pausing US sanctions on Syria to "give them a chance at greatness."

The new Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is set to travel to Riyadh to meet with Trump tomorrow.

While most Americans probably didn't even hear that President Trump lifted sanctions on Syria, Syrians have filled their streets in celebration.

For many, this is life-changing news.
