Marco Rubio has warned that Syria's transitional authority could collapse within weeks, sparking a new civil war after violent attacks on minorities. Although President Trump has lifted sanctions against Syria, the new government faces major challenges from armed groups. Rubio emphasized the need for international involvement to avoid a guaranteed failure in the transition process.
