Trump's direct quote about Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa (former head of Al-Qaeda)
From the article:
After meeting al-Shara in Saudi Arabia on that trip, Trump
told reporters on Air Force One,
“Young, attractive guy, tough guy. Yeah, strong fighter, he’s got — he’s got a real shot at pulling it together. I spoke with President Erdoğan, I’m very friendly with him. He feels he’s got a shot, going to give it a try. It’s a torn-up country.”
As Trump, 79, presented al-Sharaa, 43, with a perfume bottle, Trump sprayed the fragrance on the politician, calling it “the best fragrance.”
“And the other one is for your wife,” Trump said, before quickly asking, “How many wives?”
“One,” Al-Sharaa replied.
“With you guys, I never know,” Trump replied.
Opposing the U.S. would get al-Sharaa and Syria nowhere. Right now, al-Sharaa needs a good relationship with the United States.
