The US Is Supplying The Syrian Opposition With Major Funding And Wants Assad Gone
Biden was speaking on the second day of security talks in the German city of Munich, where he is later due to hold talks on
The US has provided "more than $50 million in non-lethal assistance to the Syrian opposition and are working alongside our partners to help them become more inclusive and cohesive," he said.
But he referred to recent comments by US President Barack Obama, saying, "We are under no illusions, the days ahead will continue to be very difficult but the opposition continues to grow stronger".
"President Obama and I, and nearly all of our partners and allies, are convinced that President Assad, a tyrant, hell bent on clinging to power, is no longer fit to lead the Syrian people and he must go," Biden said.
"We can all agree... on the increasingly desperate plight of the Syrian people and the responsibility of the international community to address that plight," he added.
He said it was "no secret" that Russia and the United States have "serious differences" on issues such as Syria.
