White House: Trump does not stop arming Syrian opposition

White House deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked at a briefing if US President Donald Trump is ending the program of arming and training anti-Assad rebels in Syria. She said she can't comment "at this time." 

Sanders also said it did not come up at the dinner with Putin at the G20, as far as she is "aware of."

On July 19, Trump has ordered the CIA to discontinue a program of arming and training anti-Assad rebels in Syria, according to a report in the Washington Post which cites unnamed US officials.
