After Reports of Chemical Attacks, White House Considers New Military Action Against Syrian Regime
(Washington Post) Karen DeYoung - President Trump has requested options for punishing the Assad government after at least seven reported chlorine gas attacks this year on civilians in opposition-controlled areas. "The civilized world must not tolerate the Assad regime's continued use of chemical weapons," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Sunday. Last April, Trump ordered a Tomahawk missile attack on a Syrian air base linked to a sarin gas attack that killed 80 people.
