Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and U.S. President Donald Trump stressed the need to preserve Syria’s unity and territorial integrity during a phone call on Monday, the Syrian presidency said.
During the telephone call, "both sides emphasized the need to guarantee the Kurdish people's rights and protection within the framework of the Syrian state", the statement said, adding that the leaders also "affirmed the importance of preserving the unity and independence of Syrian territory."
The two also agreed to continue cooperation to combat the Daesh terrorist group, the presidency added.
The phone call came after dayslong deadly clashes between the Syrian army and the terrorist PKK/YPG-dominates Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northern regions.
On Sunday, the Syrian government signed a sweeping integration deal with the group, though tensions persisted the following day. The cease-fire deal stipulates that government forces will take wide areas of northeast Syria back from the terror group and the SDF will integrate into government forces.
