In Parliament in a debate on Aleppo in Syria, Rehman raised the issue of the UK's foreign policy approach to Syria in light of the recent election results in the US. Speaking Tobias Ellwood, Rehman asked:
On a way forward in Syria and Aleppo, our key ally is the United States and its President-elect has said that Syria represents influence for Russia. If that view remains, and in line with our consistent view in challenging the Russian aggression, will we chart our own foreign policy position on Syria and the region?
