The current US President Joe Biden is receiving full information on the developments in Syria. He is also interacting with the leaders of the Middle East region on these issues.
This was announced during an online briefing by White House adviser John Kirby.
“We continue to closely monitor the developments and, as expected, the president is receiving full information from his national security team,” he said.

Biden communicates with regional leaders
In addition, Kirby noted that the head of state is in contact with the leaders of countries in the region. In particular, the day before he spoke with King Abdullah II of Jordan.
— I think it's safe to say that he (Biden, – Ed.) will maintain contact with our colleagues in the region, – said the adviser to the head of the White House.
At the same time, he emphasized that it is in the interests of US national security for Syria to be stable and secure and for the people to be able to determine their future.
In addition, as Kirby noted, it is also in the interests of the US to continue to put pressure on ISIS.
— So our military's mission to counter ISIS in Syria continues, he said.
Recall that on the night of December 8, Syrian rebels opposed to the Assad regime announced that they had taken control of the capital of Syria, Damascus. The loss of a number of cities was accompanied by a lightning-fast offensive by the rebels across the country, where in some places there was no resistance, or Syrian government troops abandoned their positions and retreated.
On December 9, the Kremlin confirmed information about granting asylum to Assad in Russia.
