US Secretary of State John Kerry (R) is greeted on September 7, 2013 by European Union High Representative Catherine Ashton as he arrives for a meeting of EU Ministers of Foreign Affairs at the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius. Kerry sought to muster European Union support for military strikes against Syria, after a G20 summit failed to resolve bitter international divisions on the issue. Washington’s top diplomat went into informal talks with the EU’s 28 foreign ministers in Lithuania, which currently holds the EU’s rotating chair, with the bloc itself sharply split on Syria and most nations highly reticent over military action.
