US and Syrian Leader Meet: A Shift in Policy

Ever heard of Ahmad al-Sharaa? He's a key figure in Syria, and believe it or not, he's just had a chat with the US. Sounds surprising, right? The reason for this meeting? The US wants to join forces with al-Sharaa to combat terrorism. This is a major change because the US once offered a $10 million reward for his capture. Now, they're sitting down to talk. The meeting took place in Damascus, with Assistant Secretary of State Barbara Leaf leading the discussion. She found al-Sharaa to be practical and keen on tackling key issues in Syria and internationally. They even discussed the whereabouts of missing Americans in Syria. It's a complex situation, with the US trying to find a balance. What do you think about this shift in policy? Is it a step in the right direction, or does it raise more questions than answers?
