Trump lavishes praise on 'fantastic' and 'highly respected' Sharaa

US President Donald Trump praised Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa as 'fantastic' and 'highly respected' during a meeting at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. The meeting marked a significant diplomatic shift, as Sharaa, previously a US-designated terrorist, has gained support from Turkey, which aims to influence Syria. Trump's endorsement contrasts with his criticism of traditional NATO allies.
