Carter: US Willing to Work With Russia Against ISIS

The Pentagon’s top official says the US is willing to work with Russian forces in Syria against the militant Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, as long as such actions coincide with the end of President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
Secretary of Defense Ash Carter made his comments during a brief press event with Colonel-General Stepan Poltorak, the Ukranian Minister of Defense.
“The United States believes that these two interests must be pursued in parallel,” Carter said.
