Obama sounds cautious note about pending Syrian ceasefire
Barack Obama
Washington - Arab Today
US President Barack Obama sounded a cautious note Wednesday about steps the US and Russia are taking to put in place a ceasefire to help end the Syrian civil war, even as he also cited progress in pushing the Daesh group out of territory in Iraq and Syria.
Obama's comments came after meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II at the White House, where the two leaders said that pursuing the political process designed to end the civil war and taking the fight against Daesh are their top priorities in Syria, ABC News reported.
The ceasefire is set to take effect Saturday, but does not cover Daesh.
"We are very cautious about raising expectations on this," Obama said. "The situation on the ground is difficult."
