Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you both for your remarks.
If we look at the most recent horrific event in Syria that involved chemical weapons and resulted in dozens of deaths, the view of the United States with regard to dealing with Syria kind of differs from that of the European powers. Both Ambassador Nikki Haley and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have suggested that the removal of Assad is no longer needed, but now, since the last incident, and the crossing of what they call “the red line”....
How would Europe move forward on Syria's issue, given that the most significant western player, the United States of course, doesn't share their view on this fundamental point?
