President Barack Obama will give his first public remarks on US strikes against Syria, from the White House within hours, a US official said Tuesday.
The official said Obama would speak before leaving for a UN General Assembly in New York. The United States, supported by several Arab allies, launched strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria on Tuesday, opening a new front in the battle against the brutal jihadist group.
