President Trump on Saturday seemed to downplay reports from Syria that the air base he ordered to be hit with missiles was working again, and indicated that the base’s runways were never the intended target of U.S. missiles.

“The reason you don’t generally hit runways is that they are easy and inexpensive to quickly fix,” Trump tweeted Saturday after wrapping up a round of golf in Palm Beach, Fla.
