Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with the incoming US administration on its policy on the conflict in Syria.

Throughout the election, our Embassy in Washington engaged with the Republican and Democratic campaigns and those who might be part of the new Administration on the breadth of our policy interests. Now that the election has concluded, those conversations are intensifying with President-elect Trump’s transition team and with those who may potentially be chosen for senior jobs.
