In Media Blitz, Obama Says Russian Proposal Could Avert Syria Strike

In an interview with PBS NewsHour’s Gwen Ifill, Obama added that Russian President Vladimir Putin raised the chemical weapons proposal in their discussion at the G20 Summit last Friday in St. Petersburg. “I did have those conversations,” he said.

Obama did not explain why neither he nor his aides chose not to publicly promote Putin’s idea until today, after Kerry’s remarks.
