Syrian President Bashar Assad said he is committed to the chemical weapons agreement and vowed to hand over the country’s chemical arms to be destroyed. He added that the plan will cost $1 billion and take one year to complete.

Speaking to Fox News on Wednesday, Assad said that Syria is ready to hand over chemical weapons to any country willing to risk taking them.

“I think it’s a very complicated operation, technically. And it needs a lot of money, about a billion,” he said.
