US President Donald Trump on Wednesday had tea with a former jihadist who until recently had a $10 million US bounty on his head.

After meeting Sharaa on Wednesday, Trump heaped praise on him, calling him a “great young attractive guy,” with a “very strong past” who is “a fighter.” The new Syrian President, he said, has “got a real shot at pulling it together.”
