President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States will soon announce new developments on Syria’s participation in the coalition against ISIS.
“You can expect some announcements on Syria,” Trump said. “We want to see Syria become a country that’s very successful. And I think this leader can do it, I really do.”
The President offered a few words of praise of Syria’s President Ahmad Al Shara, suggesting that its ties with Turkey could strengthen regional stability. “He gets along very well with Turkey, with President Erdogan,” Trump said. “He’s a great leader. Erdogan’s a great leader. And [he’s] very much in favor of what’s happening in Syria. We have to make Syria work. Syria is a big part of the Middle East.”
“He’s a very strong leader. He comes from a very tough place. Tough guy. I like him. I get along with the President, the new president in Syria, and we’ll do everything we can to make Syria successful, because that’s part of the Middle East. We have peace now in the Middle East. First time that anyone can remember that ever… If you look back at Syria for years, they had the doctors, the lawyers, and they had so many of the great intellects, and it’s an amazing place with great people. And we want to see Syria be successful like the rest of the Middle East. So I have confidence that he’ll be able to do the job.”

Acknowledging the country’s turbulent past, Trump added, “People said he’s had a rough past. We’ve all had rough pasts, but he has had a rough past—and frankly, if you didn’t have a rough past, you wouldn’t have a chance.”
