US President Obama says an agreement with Russia on ending the violence in Syria is being hampered by “gaps of trust” between the two governments.
Asked by CNN’s Michelle Kosinski about his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the President described it as “candid” and “blunt” focusing mainly on Syria and Ukraine.
Mr. Obama called the discussion on Syria “productive” about what a real cessation of hostilities would actually look like.
“We have had some productive conversations about what a real cessation of hostilities would look like that would allow us both… to focus our attention on common enemies.”
Obama added that currently the gaps have not been closed in negotiations between Russia and the US in a way that they think would “actually work.” Obama urged Kerry and Lavrov to work together in the coming days to get aid to those in need.
