Details of secret meeting between Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Syrian President revealed: Trump wants Assad to stay in power
American Herald Tribune- A Syrian diplomatic source underlined that the visit by 130 US figures, including three former secretaries and congresspersons, is a "good omen" in the relations between Damascus and Washington.


According to the source, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard who had last week said that she met with Syrian President Bashar Assad during a recent trip to the war-torn country, stressed during the meeting that "affairs are going on in a way that an unprecedented opening is seen in the relations between the two sides in different fields".

Referring to three existing scenarios on Syria, she said that the first option is continued war which doesnt benefit any sides and the US administration will likely oppose it; the second option is the victory of dissidents which is opposed by Trump and he even dismisses interactions with them; the third option is Assad's continued ruling over Syria as the best person to manage the country provided that certain considerations will receive attention in the formation of the government, the Syrian source said.

According to the source, Gabbard has indirectly spoken about a US plan to pave the ground for Trump's showoff by annihilation of the ISIS in Raqqa like what was done by former US President Barack Obama.

"Raqqa city is a political card important for the world since it is considered as the ISIS's first base; meantime, ending the war is Raqqa militarily is easy since there are no tunnels and tall buildings in there which facilitates any military measure to annihilate terrorism," the Syrian diplomatic source said.


Backing from a weeklong trip to Syria defended her meeting with the war-torn countrys president, saying theres no possibility of a viable peace agreement unless Bashar Assad is part of the conversation.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii said she originally had no intention of sitting down with Assad, according to a statement issued by her office detailing her travels. But she changed her mind when the opportunity arose.

I think we should be ready to meet with anyone if theres a chance it can help bring about an end to this war, which is causing the Syrian people so much suffering, Gabbard said.

Gabbard said that the U.S. has waged wars of regime change in Iraq, Libya and Syria. Yet each has resulted in unimaginable suffering, devastating loss of life, and the strengthening of groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group, she said.

My visit to Syria has made it abundantly clear, Gabbard said. Our counterproductive regime change war does not serve Americas interest, and it certainly isnt in the interest of the Syrian people.
