WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday ​that he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had “solved a tremendous problem in conjunction ‌with Syria,” ‌although ‌he didn’t ⁠provide ​details.

Trump’s ‌comments, which were made during an interview on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show,” ⁠came hours after ‌he spoke to ‍Syrian President ‍Ahmed Al-Sharaa.

Washington ‍has been engaged in shuttle diplomacy to reach a lasting ​ceasefire and political resolution between the Kurdish-led ⁠Syrian Democratic Forces — once its top ally in Syria — and Sharaa, now its favored partner in the country.
