The United States welcomes a Saudi offer to deploy special forces to support a possible coalition ground operation inside Syria, the kingdom's foreign minister said Monday.
Speaking after a meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry, Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said any operation would be US-led but that Saudi
Arabia would play a leading role.
"The United States government was very supportive and very positive about the kingdom's readiness to provide special forces to the operation in Syria,
should the international coalition make a decision to do so," he told reporters.
