"Another bottle for your wife": Trump sprayed the Syrian president with perfume during an official meeting (video)

here, take another bottle for your wife! How many wives do you have?". To which the Syrian president replies: "One. " Trump remarks in response: "Just one? Well, you never know in advance!". It is worth noting that, as Reuters writes, US President Donald Trump held a historic meeting at the White House with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on November 10.

Trump assured that the United States will do everything possible to help Syria become a successful state, and called Sharaa a "strong leader", while noting that "each of us has had a difficult path in the past. " For Sharaa, this is the first visit to the United States: the former al-Qaeda commander, who until recently was under Washington sanctions, is now positioning himself as a moderate leader who seeks to unite the war-torn country and break out of international isolation.

One of the main goals of his negotiations was the cancellation of American sanctions, known as the "Caesar Act", which requires a decision by Congress. The meeting took place without the traditional ceremony: Sharaa arrived through a side entrance, without flags or a guard of honor.

The event took place against the background of attempts on the life of the Syrian president, prepared by militants of the "Islamic State", as well as a large-scale special operation of the Syrian authorities, during which more than 70 suspects of terrorist activities were detained.

According to Reuters, the talks also discussed a possible security agreement between Syria and Israel, the establishment of a US military presence at one of the bases in Damascus, and Syria's political cooperation with the international coalition against the Islamic State. It will be recalled that Ahmed al-Sharaa gave the first major interview to the American media as the new president of Syria after the escape of Bashar al-Assad.
