White House won't explain Trump's delay on Syria action, points to 'ongoing conversations'

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday that President Trump still believes Syria’s government used chemical weapons against a Damascus suburb, but declined to say why he delayed a decision on a possible attack.

Trump said Monday “we are going to be making some big decisions over the next 24-48 hours.” After suggesting a decision may come Tuesday, he tweeted Wednesday that missiles “will be coming.” On Thursday, he said, “Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all!”
