Blinken says US has made 'direct contact' with Syria's victorious HTS

The United States has made "direct contact" with Syria's victorious Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) rebels despite designating the group as terrorists, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Saturday.

"We've been in contact with HTS and with other parties," Blinken told reporters after talks on Syria in Jordan, without specifying how it took place.
