Jeffrey said the U.S. will continue to pressure the Syrian government through economic sanctions and halt any normalization with Arab states until a "new political government is formed."

Prior to the meeting, al-Akhbar released an exclusive article that revealed Washington’s threats to Leb if they were to push for Syria’s reinstatement in the vaporous Arab League.
