On this episode of the podcast, Matthew Faraci breaks down President Trump’s historic meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a onetime jihadist turned head of state. As al-Sharaa seeks global legitimacy, nearly 100 faith leaders from Save the Persecuted Christians (STPC) have released a letter and campaign video urging Trump to confront Syria’s leader over the ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid to Christians, Druze, and other minorities in southern Syria.

Faraci discusses the high-stakes diplomacy, the removal of U.S. and U.N. sanctions on al-Sharaa, and how President Trump’s push for a “fresh start” in Syria could hinge on one question: whether al-Sharaa will finally uphold his promises on religious freedom and human rights.
