WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry insisted on Friday that President Bashar al-Assad has no place in Syria's future and he said the United States had options to step up pressure on him.

Kerry will lead a U.S. delegation to Switzerland next week for peace talks between the Syrian government and rebels aimed at ending the country's civil war. Syrian opposition groups are meeting in Istanbul to vote on whether to attend the U.N.-backed talks in Montreux on January 22.
