The Syrian government, led by President Bashar al-Assad, has agreed to join the US-led coalition against the Islamic State (IS) group. This decision comes after a meeting between Syrian official Ahmed al-Sharaa and US President Donald Trump at the White House. Al-Sharaa, who was previously branded a terrorist by the US, is the first Syrian leader to visit the White House. The move represents a significant shift in the relationship between Syria and the US, which have been at odds for years due to the Syrian civil war. The agreement to join the coalition against IS is seen as a strategic move by the Syrian government to bolster its international standing and potentially gain access to additional resources and support in its ongoing fight against the terrorist group. However, the details of the agreement and the terms of Syria's participation in the coalition remain unclear.
