United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said Sunday that the Trump administration does not see a solution to the conflict in Syria with President Bashar Assad in power, but suggested his removal should be the collective responsiblity of the international community — not just the duty of the U.S.
“Regime change is something that we think is going to happen,” Haley said during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “What I think you’re seeing is, this is not about policy or not, this is about thoughts.”
Haley said seeing Assad ousted from power is among several American priorities in Syria, a list that included getting Iranian influence out of Syria and reaching a “political solution.”
“There is no political solution that any of us can see with Assad at the lead,” Haley said. “That’s something that the entire international community has decided.”
