The United States is taking a fresh look at whether to provide weapons to Syria’s rebels, after having rejected the idea in the past, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday.
At a news conference with his British counterpart Philip Hammond, Hagel was asked if the US government was rethinking its opposition to arming the rebels and he replied: “Yes.” But he added no decision had been reached.
