Syrian father names his newborn baby 'Trump'
Social media users are speculating that the father named his new son after Trump ahead of the US's agreement with Saudi Arabia to lift its sanctions on Syria during the American President's recent discussions with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Donald Trump travelled across the Middle East, visiting countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to discuss economic and political growth with the region's leaders, including Mohammed Bin Salman, Sheikh Mohammed bin Thani, Ahmed Al-Shara, and Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The Trump-al-Sharaa meeting came one day after the US President announced lifting sanctions on Syria after they were imposed following the civil war that erupted against Bashar Assad and his government, a White House official said.
