Washington:
President Barack Obama has agreed to discussions at the United Nations Security Council on a proposal from Russia to secure Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles, a White House official said.
The official said Mr Obama discussed the proposal today with French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron. France's foreign minister says it will float a resolution in the UN Security Council aimed at forcing Syria to make public its chemical weapons program, place it under international control and dismantle it.
Mr Obama has said the proposal marks a potential breakthrough that could halt plans for a US military strike, though he said the details remain unclear.
