The US State Department said that its policy regarding normalizing ties with the “brutal dictator Bashar al-Assad” has not changed and that it is not the time for normalization now.

Price said that his country does not support efforts by countries towards “upgrading their relations or expressing support to rehabilitate the brutal dictator Bashar al-Assad.”

Price called on these countries to consider the “atrocious human rights record the past 12 years” committed by the Syrian president who caused and is causing his own people to suffer for long years.

He added his country will continue to work with allies, partners, and the United Nations, “to ensure that a durable political solution remains within reach.”
