Trump takes aim at Russia in announcing Syria strikes

President Trump made it a point Friday night to specifically call out Russia, a supporter of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, in announcing strikes in response to Damascus’ use of chemical weapons against civilians.

“I also have a message tonight for the two governments most responsible for supporting, equipping, and financing the criminal Assad regime,” Trump said. “To Iran, and to Russia, I ask: What kind of a nation wants to be associated with the mass murder of innocent men, women, and children?”
