During the meeting, Trump presented President Al-Sharaa with a bottle of his own signature perfume, proudly declaring it, the best fragrance in the world. Showing his characteristic flair, Trump personally sprayed the perfume on both Al-Sharaa and the Syrian Foreign Minister, Asad Al-Shaibani, who accompanied him.
As he handed over the gift, Trump remarked, one bottle is for you, and one for your wife. Then, in a moment of spontaneous curiosity or perhaps typical Trump humor, he turned to Al-Sharaa and asked with a smile, By the way, how many wives do you have?
The Syrian president, looking slightly amused, replied simply, “Just one.”
Later, while speaking to the media, Trump expressed his determination to help Syria get back on the path to success, promising to take every possible step in that direction. Around the same time, the U.S. Treasury Department also announced the suspension of economic sanctions previously imposed on Syria.
