Evening Edition: New Hope, Old Fears Over Syria

During his trip to the Middle East, President Trump met with the
new Syrian President, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, who took over after the fall
of the Assad regime this past January. This came a day after he
pledged to lift sanctions on the war-torn nation. Some, including
former President Obama and members of Congress, praised Trump's
decision and hoped Americans could build a possible relationship
with the new government. However, some have raised concerns about
the interim Syrian President's involvement with extremist groups.
Indiana Republican Congressman Marlin Stutzman met with Al-Sharaa
and members of the Syrian regime last month. He joins the Rundown
to explain why he's optimistic about Syria's future yet understands
why America must be vigilant and ensure that it operates in the
best interests of our country. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about
