Did Layla Abdel Latif predict the Trump-al-Sharaa meeting?
Today, US President Donald Trump met with Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Riyadh on Wednesday. Then, they joined a larger meeting with GCC leaders and delegations in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
About a month ago, Layla Abdel Latif appeared in an interview with Lebanese TV show host Tony Khalife, where she spoke about a possible meeting between the US president and the new Syrian leader.
In the interview, Layla Abdel Latif said: "We'll hear about exchanged American-Syrian messages that will link between Donald Trump and the new Syrian Interim President, Ahmed al-Sharaa." She also added that Saudi Arabia will be the hosting country of a possible face-to-face meeting between al-Sharaa and a high-ranking American official, who could possibly be Trump himself.
