US diplomats visit Damascus to meet Syria’s new leaders and search for missing journalist Austin Tice.

US diplomats have made their first trip to Damascus since 2012 to meet with Syria’s new leaders and gather information on missing American journalist Austin Tice.

The visit does not signal the immediate reopening of the US embassy, which has been closed since the Syrian civil war began.
