President Donald Trump praised Syrian President Abu Mohammad al-Julani on Wednesday evening, saying he has unified Syria in a year and a half and done an 'outstanding job.' The remarks, reported from what appears to be a statement or social media post, follow a series of recent Trump statements in which he has encouraged al-Julani's government to take a more active role against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump had said earlier Wednesday that al-Julani could handle Hezbollah 'without knocking down buildings,' a comment Israel has opposed. The latest praise continues the U.S. president's open endorsement of the post-Assad Syrian leadership's regional role. No further details about the context or venue of the latest statement were provided.
