Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Friday that President Trump’s strikes against Syria are “appropriate,” but warned that the administration must be careful to avoid a wider war after Syrian President Bashar Assad’s use of chemical weapons on April 7.

“A pinpointed, limited action to punish and hopefully deter Assad from doing this again is appropriate, but the administration has to be careful about not getting us into a greater and more involved war in Syria,” Schumer said in a statement Friday night.
