US President Donald Trump presented his “Victory 45-47” cologne to Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara during their meeting at the White House. Trump sprayed the cologne on al-Shara and Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani before gifting the bottles.
During the exchange, Trump asked al-Shara, “How many wives do you have?” The Syrian president replied, “One,” prompting Trump to respond with a brief joke.
Trump described al-Shara as a “strong leader,” and later shared their photo on Truth Social. The visit comes as the United States restores diplomatic ties with Syria following the fall of the Assad regime.
