US President Barack Obama holds a press conference in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington on April 30, 2013. Obama warned against a rush to judgment on Syria’s use of chemical arms, but said proof of their use would trigger a “rethink” of his reluctance to use military force.
