President Trump: Suspected Chemical Attack in Syria ‘Crosses Many, Many Lines’

“The United States stands with our allies across the globe to condemn this horrific attack and all other horrific attacks."

President Donald Trump is leaving the door open to new action in Syria following a deadly suspected chemical attack.

At least 72 people died in the nerve gas attack, many of them are children.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s military denied using chemical weapons and blamed rebels for the carnage.

Russia, Syria’s strong ally, said it had no warplanes in the vicinity.

President Trump made the comments as he welcomed Jordan’s King Abdullah to the Oval Office.

"It crossed a lot of lines for me. When you kill innocent children, innocent babies, babies, little babies with a chemical gas that is so lethal that people were shocked to hear what gas it was, that crosses many, many lines beyond the red line," said President Trump.
