Trump's isolationist stance challenged by shifting dynamics in Syria

Donald Trump’s isolationist stance is being tested by recent developments in Syria, where the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham has forced President Bashar Assad to flee. Trump has stated that the U.S. should not intervene, calling Syria "not our fight." The fall of Assad marks a significant shift after 13 years of civil war, with many Syrians hopeful for a new beginning. The new leadership under HTS leader Ahmad al-Sharaa may lead to changes in international relations, as some Western countries consider easing sanctions. As Trump prepares to take office, the Biden administration is still involved in Syria, focusing on preventing the rise of ISIS and maintaining regional stability. The situation remains complex, with potential implications for U.S. foreign policy and humanitarian efforts.
