Turkey hosting new peace talks between Russia and Syrian rebels & looks like the US wasn't invited

The US was shut out of a new round of secret negotiations between Russia and Syrian rebel factions hosted by Turkish officials in Ankara, a source within the Syrian opposition told Business Insider on Monday.

The opposition source, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the negotiations, said American officials were not invited to take part in the talks due to recent tensions between Turkey and the US.

"The US is totally out of these talks," the source said. "And they're pretty angry about it."
