Donald Trump is hitting back at suggestions that a remark he made about Hillary CliSyria’s foreign minister said his country is ready to participate in peace talks in Geneva, “without any foreign interference,” nearly a week after the United Nations Security Council approved a plan for an international Syrian peace process aimed at ending its civil war.

Foreign Minister Walid Muallem made the comments to reporters following a meeting in Beijing with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi.

Muallem said the Syrian delegation will be ready as soon as it receives a list of the members of the opposition’s delegation.

He added that the government hopes the dialogue will be successful in helping Syria establish a national unity government.

China is on the U.N. Security Council that approved the peace roadmap last week. Talks could begin as soon as January.
