Because he's the new leader of a nation. Syria has always been very cozy with Russia, the US would like to reduce that. They also don't want China moving in either.
If you want the US to get out of the Middle East? You want to go the Obama/Biden route? Just pull up stakes like in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan & let chaos ensue? Or a more orderly withdrawal?
What would you suggest? Making it known the USA hates him and will not even speak with him? Just send China an invitation to walk right in, eh? Great idea!
Yeah I have yet to hear a good coherent reason as to why having him at the White House to yuck it up with him was a good thing.
Because he's an Israeli agent.
He was never part of ISIS and openly fight them when al‑Baghdadi offered a merge, he refused.
And distanced himself from Al-Qaeda, and made he own faction.
Basically, he's a terrorist but one willing to play ball, US agencies and policymakers like these types for all sorts of reasons.

This is the most boomercon strawman take I have ever heard. Yeah, because I am absolutely terrified of China becoming close with Syria of all places.
Just ignore their close affection (under Assad) with Russia, eh? Reading comprehension is so "old fashioned" these days. Or racist? I forget.
You actually believe China doesn't operate around the world? Building relations and eroding the influence of other nations? Tanker.
I don't give a shit if they're close with Russia. Russia is not the big bad enemy people are psyopped into believing they are.
Another strawman. Please get yourself checked.
