US, Russia look for diplomatic solution in Syria
Posted on 15:16 by Unknown
The Senate postponed a vote today on military strikes against Syria at the President Barack Obama's request, as the president and Secretary of State John Kerry focus on a diplomatic solution for the conflict in the Middle East. The US is working with Russia and other members of the UN Security Council on a plan to require Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to turn over the country's chemical weapons stockpile to the international community. However, the US and Russia disagree on whether or not to keep the threat of military strikes in any UN Security Council resolution. RT's Sam Sacks has more information on the diplomatic wrangling over Syria.
