U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated: "Ambassador Tom Barak has long been a key figure in Syrian affairs and a widely recognized key player in Iraqi affairs. He will continue to play a vital role, fulfilling his duties as U.S. Ambassador to Turkey while also promoting strategic cooperation between the U.S. President and the Syrian government, and coordinating with the new Iraqi government. He is an irreplaceable core member of the President's team, and I have complete trust in him. His work receives full support from the State Department. He is willing to continue leading the implementation of relevant matters, which will bring tangible benefits to the American people."
