The United States has put forth a draft resolution within the U.N. Security Council meant to end sanctions on Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, leader of the Islamist militant and political group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
The proposal comes ahead of al-Sharaa’s anticipated meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House, set for Nov. 10.
