Washington – This footage is explosive – and shows the confusing situation surrounding Syria’s new rulers. On Monday, President Ahmed Al-Sharaa will be welcomed to the White House by US President Donald Trump (79) – just a few years after US military officials openly hunted the former al-Qaeda terrorist. Al-Sharaa apparently came to Washington in a good mood. In a video circulating on social media on Sunday, he and his Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani (38) were seen playing basketball with two of the highest-ranking US military personnel.
