President Donald Trump said Syrian President Abu Mohammad al-Julani has done an 'amazing job' and unified the country, according to remarks reported Tuesday. Trump also said he has an 'excellent relationship' with al-Julani and noted that he approved him along with Erdogan.
President Donald Trump continued his pattern of expressing vocal support for Syrian President Abu Mohammad al-Julani, calling him 'amazing' and claiming he unified the country. Trump's remarks, reported Tuesday by Israeli media, also highlighted an 'excellent relationship' with al-Julani and noted that he approved him along with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Trump has previously praised al-Julani for unifying Syria within a year and a half, as The Zioneer reported on June 17. The US president has also made similar statements about other regional leaders, including Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, often emphasizing personal relationships.
The statement comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts involving Syria, though the details of Trump's approval are not specified. The Syrian leader, formerly head of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has sought international legitimacy since the fall of the Assad regime.
