WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast issued the following statement after meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa:
"Last evening, the new Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and I broke bread. We had a long and serious conversation about how to build a future for the people of Syria free of war, ISIS, and extremism.
He and I are two former soldiers and two former enemies. I asked him directly 'Why we are no longer enemies?'
His response was that he wishes to 'liberate from the past and have a noble pursuit for his people and his country and to be a great ally to the United States of America.'
Today, he will meet with President Trump and officially join the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS."
