US Still Against Countries Normalising Ties With Assad’s Syria, Following Jordan Push
The US remains against countries normalising ties with the Assad regime in Syria, a State Department official told The New Arab’s Arabic-language sister site, Alaraby Aljadeed.
The official, who preferred not to be named, reiterated the US stance on Syria in response to a question on whether the US gave Jordan the green light to normalise ties with Syria.
The official said that Washington “does not express any support for efforts to rehabilitate the Syrian regime or Bashar al-Assad, and the United States will not improve its diplomatic relations with the Assad regime“.
“We do not support the normalisation of relations between the regime and other countries,” the official added.
Countries in the region – including Jordan, the UAE and Bahrain – have in recent years worked to mend ties with the Syrian regime, cut off since the onset of the war in 2011 when regime forces brutally cracked down on pro-democracy demonstrations.
