美国总统奥巴马表示,他非常倾向于通过外交途径制止叙利亚使用化学武器。目前奥巴马仍在继续敦促国会支持对叙利亚进行军事打击。
俄罗斯提出一项新建议,主张将叙利亚的化学武器库存置于国际社会的控制之下,而奥巴马星期一在接受电视采访时对俄罗斯的提议表示怀疑,但他认为这项计划有可能取得突破。奥巴马说,在没有军事行动威胁的情况下,这项计划不会得以实施。
星期二,奥巴马将继续会见国会议员,并将在晚上就叙利亚局势发表电视讲话。
奥巴马星期一承认,可能在国会议员中得不到足够的支持来通过一项授权对叙利亚采取军事打击的议案。参议院的一项决议案规定奥巴马必须在90天内完成军事行动,但未授权使用地面部队。
U.S. President Barack Obama says he "overwhelmingly" prefers diplomacy in deterring Syria's use of chemical weapons, as he continues to press Congress to support a military strike.
In a series of television interviews Monday, Mr. Obama expressed skepticism about a new Russian proposal to put Syria's chemical weapons stockpile under international control, but called the plan a potential breakthrough. He said it would not have materialized without the threat of military action.
Mr. Obama is continuing meetings with members of Congress on Tuesday before giving an evening televised address on the situation in Syria.
He acknowledged Monday there may not be enough support among lawmakers to pass a proposed measure authorizing U.S. military action. A Senate resolution would give Mr. Obama a maximum of 90 days to carry out an attack, but would not authorize the use of ground troops.
