WASHINGTON – US President Joe Biden is keeping a close eye on “extraordinary events” transpiring in Syria, the White House said late on Dec 7, after a war monitor said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has fled the country and rebels declared that they have taken the capital.
“President Biden and his team are closely monitoring the extraordinary events in Syria and staying in constant touch with regional partners,” National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett said in a statement on social media. AFP
