Days after Russia and the United States reached a deal on getting Syria to give up its chemical weapons, world powers are quarreling over the details.
The agreement, reached by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry over the weekend, calls for a U.N. resolution demanding that Syria turn over its chemical weapons to international control in a specific time frame.
Russia won't support any resolution that would authorize the use of force against Syria if it doesn't comply, Lavrov said Tuesday.
But the United States and France want to keep the threat of force on the table if Syria doesn't comply. Those allies say they are convinced that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime was behind a chemical weapons attack in opposition areas that, according to U.S. estimates, killed more than 1,400 people.
