President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron are pledging to work together to ramp up pressure against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Obama spoke after a meeting with Cameron during the British leader’s visit to Washington.

President Obama: “Together, we’re going to continue our efforts to increase pressure on the Assad regime, to provide humanitarian aid to the long-suffering Syrian people, to strengthen the moderate opposition, and to prepare for a democratic Syria without Bashar al-Assad. And that includes bringing together representatives of the regime and the opposition in Geneva in the coming weeks to agree on a transitional body, which would allow a transfer of power from Assad to this governing body.”
