President Donald Trump Orders Missile Launch at Syrian Base Over Chemical Weapons Attack

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ACTS IN A DECISIVE AND PRESIDENTIAL MANNER AND ATTACKS SYRIA FOR CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK
The United States fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Syria overnight in response to what it believes was a chemical weapons attack that killed more than 100 people.
At least six people were killed, Syria claimed, but the Pentagon said civilians were not targeted and the strike was aimed at a military airfield in the western province of Homs.
The missiles were launched from the USS Ross and the USS Porter in the Mediterranean Sea toward Shayrat Airfield. American officials believe it was used by the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad to carry out a strike on Tuesday involving chemical weapons that resulted in the deaths of more than 100 people.
The action completed a policy reversal for President Donald Trump — who once warned America to stay out of the conflict — and drew anger from Damascus and its main ally, Russia.
