The US and its allies fired more than 100 cruise missiles at Syria, a significant number of which were intercepted by Syrian air defences,
President Trump had ordered the military attack against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Friday, joining allies Britain and France in launching missile strikes. The coordinated strike marked the second time in a little over a year that Trump has used force against Assad, who U.S. officials believe has continued to test the West’s willingness to accept gruesome chemical attacks.
Trump, speaking from the White House late Friday, stated that the attack last weekend was “a significant escalation” of Assad’s use of chemical weapons and warranted a stepped-up international response.
The alleged chemical weapons use was not the work of “a man,” Trump said. It was “the crimes of a monster instead.”
