WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States expressed disappointment on Wednesday at the Yemeni government's reaction to a U.N.-drafted roadmap to end the country's civil war and urged it to accept the proposal as a basis to begin negotiations on a peace agreement.
Yemen appeared to reject the U.N. plan on Tuesday, calling it a "dangerous international precedent" that would legitimize the rebellion against the internationally recognised government. State Department spokesman Mark Toner told a news briefing the United States was "disappointed" by Yemen's reaction.
