Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to make her first public remarks on U.S. military action in Syria when she visits the White House on Monday, a Clinton aide told Politico.
The unidentified aide told Politico that Clinton’s remarks will come after a private meeting with President Barack Obama, when she appears at an unrelated wildlife preservation event at which her daughter Chelsea appears on the program. Clinton is expected to briefly speak about Syria at the beginning of the event, the aide said.
Clinton is also expected to reiterate her remarks in a speech Tuesday at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the source said.
Last week, an unnamed Clinton aide said the former secretary of state “supports the President’s effort to enlist the Congress in pursuing a strong and targeted response to the Assad regime’s horrific use of chemical weapons.”
