The True Post (Web News) An interesting moment emerged during the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House, the video of which has gone viral on social media.
According to media reports, during the meeting, President Trump presented Ahmed al-Sharaa with a perfume of his brand. Trump smiled and said, “This is the best perfume in the world.” On this occasion, he also applied the perfume to the Syrian president himself and Foreign Minister Asad al-Shaibani, who was with him, after which the perfume packet was given to Ahmed al-Sharaa as a gift.
At the same time, President Trump smiled and said, “This is one perfume for you and one for your wife.” And immediately asked sarcastically, “By the way, how many wives do you have?”
The Syrian president smiled in surprise and replied, “Only one.” Hearing this answer, the room erupted in laughter, while President Trump laughed and said, “This is unusual, you are from the Middle East and only have one wife?” This sentence went viral not only on American media but also on global social platforms, and users called it “Trump’s new diplomatic style.” Many users commented that Trump always turns formal meetings into interesting and unconventional ways.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, President Trump said that he is committed to providing all possible support for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Syria.
At the same time, the US Treasury Department also announced the temporary suspension of economic sanctions imposed on Syria — which observers described as a sign of a “thaw” in relations between the two countries.
According to political experts, although Trump’s question was informal, it is being considered part of his typical conversational style and an attempt to create a pleasant atmosphere in diplomatic meetings with a light-hearted approach. However, some critics on social media also called it “undiplomatic” and “frivolous” behavior. One thing is certain — Trump’s conversations always make headlines, and this time too, the question “How many wives do you have?” once again highlighted his unique style in world news.
