US criticizes Arab League readmission of Assad's Syria: State Dept.

Description

The United States criticizes the Arab League decision to readmit Syria, after a more than decade-long suspension. The body suspended Damascus in November 2011 over its crackdown on peaceful protests, which had begun earlier that year, and which spiraled into a war that has killed more than 500,000 people, displaced millions and battered the country's infrastructure and industry. "We will not normalize our relations with the Assad regime, and we don’t support our allies and partners doing so either," US State Department Spokesman Vedant Patel tells reporters during a press briefing.
