Saudi in talks with US over troop deployment in Syria

Saudi Arabia is holding talks with the United States about sending troops into Syria as part of a wider international coalition.

The Kingdom's foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir said the deployment offer is "not new". 

He said Riyadh had previously proposed the idea to former US President Barack Obama.

The Kingdom announced its readiness to deploy ground troops in 2016 to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) in Syria.
