The White House has said it is putting no timeline on a diplomatic resolution to the crisis in Syria.
Press Secretary Jay Carney said putting Syria's chemical weapons under international control, will obviously take some time.
According to news24, he said a United Nations process to draft a resolution is just underway.
The United Nation action is made to stop plans for a US military strike in response to chemical weapons attack in Syria, which has killed thousands of civilians, the report said.
Carney also said Syria's ally Russia is putting its prestige on the line to get Syria to turn over its chemical weapons stockpile, the report added.
