WASHINGTON (AFP)
US President Joe Biden will meet on Sunday with his national security advisors over Syria, where the Syrian opposition declared they had taken Damascus and overthrown President Bashar al-Assad.
The United States so far has been muted in its response, as other world leaders have weighed in to urge peace, and encouraging a political solution to stabilise the country.
"The President will meet with his national security team this morning to receive an update on the situation in Syria," National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett posted on X.
The US military has around 900 troops in Syria and 2,500 in Iraq as part of the international coalition that was established in 2014 to help combat Daesh.
