Washington’s priorities in Syria have changed with the new administration, and the US will no longer focus on the removal of President Bashar Assad as a condition for ending the six-year civil war, a top official said.
"Our priority is no longer to sit there and focus on getting Assad out," Ambassador Nikki Haley told a small group of reporters on Thursday.
"Our priority is to really look at how do we get things done, who do we need to work with to really make a difference for the people in Syria."
Earlier in the day, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that the future of President Assad “will be decided by the Syrian people.”
Tillerson was in Ankara meeting with his Turkish colleague Mevlut Cavusoglu. Some of their discussion involved Turkey’s support for the US-led coalition against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Iraq and Syria.
Since 2011, when the conflict in Syria began, Washington has
insisted that “Assad must go” as the only acceptable solution for peace in the country.
The US has provided weapons and training to what it called
“moderate rebels” in Syria, ostensibly so they could fight IS rather than the government.
Leaving the State Department in January, now former Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged that the Obama administration planned to oust Assad’s government by supporting the rebels, but “that whole ball game changed” when Russia intervened in September 2015.
Turkey also intervened in Syria, launching Operation "Euphrates Shield” in August 2016. Ankara officially announced the operation’s end on Wednesday, but did not say if and when the Turkish army will withdraw from the zone it occupied in northern Syria.

Somebody call Russia for me
Putin

E Don Over For America,i thought they were bent on making sure the guy leaves the seat until they suddenly realized that would almost be impossible and a pipe-dream with Russia siding with Syria.

All Hail Putin the game changer

Its good Trump keyed into the reality. Kudos.

Middle finger to that son of a LovePeddler and lover of gays.

Is is not a shame on America but a shame on Obama and Hillary Clinton and their satanic establishment. Trump has stopped their evil plans and is ever willing to work with Russia.

1 Lord Vladimirovich Putin is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in Moskow: he leadeth me beside the still waters of Sevastopol - where the Russian Nuclear Submarine fleet are waiting to devour NATO.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness, truth, freedom & justice for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of all the Amerikan Embassies - where all coup & assassination plots are being orchestrated daily, I will fear no evil: for Vladimirovich Putin is with me; his Topol-M, Satan 2 Sarmat and the almighty Zircon hypersonic missiles; they comfort me.

5 Putin preparest a table before me in Moskow - in the presence of Barrack Obama, Killary Clinton, George Bush & that bastard called John Kerry : He anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely, the S-400Triumf and the S500Prometey and the Kalibr cruise missiles shall follow & protect me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the Kremlin for ever.
