White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest has told journalists that Washington hasn't ruled out the introduction of a no-fly zone in Syria in the future, but it has “indicated that it's not something that it is considering right now”; the comment comes amid reports that Secretary John Kerry had asked his staff "to further develop the idea."
"We've not been in a position to take it [the possibility of a no-fly zone in Syria] off the table or to rule it out in the future, but we have indicated that it's not something that we're considering right now," Earnest told reporters on Wednesday.
