A truce has been called for Syria's Idlib Province, site of what has been called a humanitarian disaster.

WASHINGTON -- The United States said it welcomes news of a cease-fire in northwest Syria and added it was “truly important” that attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure be halted.

A State Department statement on August 3 said U.S. officials “commend efforts by Turkey and Russia working together to restore the cease-fire they agreed in [the Russian resort of] Sochi in September 2018.”

At the same time, the State Department said Washington believes that the “only viable path to a political solution is the UN-led political process in Geneva."
