The U.S. and its allies launched “precision strikes” against Syria, the president said Friday night, after a deadly suspected chemical weapons attack there Saturday.

Britain and France joined the U.S. in the retaliatory action targeting Syrian leader Bashar al Assad’s chemical weapons program. “I ordered the United States Armed Forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapon capabilities of Syrian dictator of Bashar al-Assad,” Trump said from the White House.
