US President Barack Obama, who arrived in Riyadh Friday, will discuss with Saudi officials ways to "best empower" Syria's moderate opposition, including militarily, a senior White House official said.
"That will definitely be one of the main topics of conversation is how do we best empower the moderate opposition inside of Syria politically, militarily as a counterweight to (President Bashar) Assad," deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes told reporters travelling with Obama on board Air Force One.
