Trump Gives Notice On Further Attack In Syria

US President Donald Trump has warned of further military actions in Syria as a retaliation  to the chemical attack in Idlib that killed innocent civilians.


The United States'  president said "will take additional action, as necessary and appropriate, to further its important national interests,"

Trump disclosed this in a letter addressed to House Speaker Paul Ryan on Saturday.
In the letter, he also gave the specifics of a Friday attack in which he ordered US warships in nearby Mediterranean waters to launch a missile strike against al-Shayrat airbase in Syria’s Homs province, which Washington alleged was the base from where a chemical attack  in Idlib was launched on Tuesday.

Trump asserts that "I directed this action in order to degrade the Syrian military's ability to conduct further chemical weapons attacks and to dissuade the Syrian regime from using
or proliferating chemical weapons, thereby promoting the stability of the region and averting a worsening of the region's current humanitarian catastrophe,"

However, Syria has categorically denied carrying out the purported gas attack, with Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem stressing that the Idlib airstrike had targeted a depot, where terrorists stored chemical weapons.
