US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump had formally notified Congress of his intention to change Syria’s status. Rubio described the move as “another historic step” aimed at giving the Syrian people new opportunities for development.

The announcement came amid a meeting between Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The two leaders discussed regional issues and prospects for developing bilateral relations.

Particular attention was given to the need for steps supporting Syria’s unity and territorial integrity.
