EU cautious on US plan for Syria safe zones
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEuropean Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says it is too early to comment on reports of US plans for safe zones in Syria.
Commenting on reports that Trump is directing the Pentagon and State Department to “produce a plan” for safe zones in Syria within 90 days, Mogherini says the European Union “will consider plans when they come.”
Speaking at a press conference in Beirut, Mogherini says the EU wants to see a political solution and a political transition in Syria that would allow “every single Syrian” to return to their country.
“We need to turn this from a proxy war to a proxy peace, and our role is to facilitate,” she says.
