Damascus is ready to cooperate with US President-elect Donald Trump if his policies are in line with Damascus’ expectations, the Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad’s Political and Media Adviser Bouthaina Shaaban said on Thursday.

Russia Today Agency (RT) quoted Shaaban saying that Damascus hopes that the United States would become an active participant in the fight against terrorism. She added that Syria is not interested in the elections’ result, confirming that what concerns Damascus is the new president’s policies and how it would coincide with Syria’s expectations.

Shaaban pointed out that if Trump’s policies were in line with Damascus’ aspirations, Syria is ready for any cooperation with the United States and any other countries which respect Syria’s sovereignty and do not get involved in Syria’s affairs.

She has expressed that the United States intervention in the countries’ affairs brings “disasters”, adding that Washington should pursue a policy of cooperation with all the countries.

Worth mentioning that the US President-elect Donald Trump has stated in the past that he does not seek to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad; however, the two presidents do not currently have any channels of communication.
