The US administration maintains contact with all groups of the Syrian opposition, including through mediators. This was stated by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at a briefing on Tuesday, December 10.

"I can say that we are in contact with all Syrian groups, including through mediation structures, as we do everything we can to support the Syrian people during this transitional period," she said.
