President Trump is meeting on Monday at the White House with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, the White House said.
Why it matters: This is the first-ever visit by a Syrian president to the White House and another key step in rebuilding U.S.-Syrian relations. It's particularly unusual given al-Sharaa is a former al-Qaeda commander who was until recently on the U.S. terrorism blacklist.
Two top BBC leaders resigned Sunday following criticism over the way a documentary edited a speech by President Trump on Jan. 6 and other matters raised in a leaked internal memo.
Why it matters: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and others accused the public service broadcaster of dishonesty following the leak to the Telegraph of the memo that raised concerns about impartiality and called the edited Trump clip in the BBC "Panorama" documentary "misleading."
