Trump: Syria chemical attack a 'consequence' of Obama's 'weakness'

President Trump said Tuesday that the Syrian regime’s recent chemical attack on civilians is a direct consequence of former President Obama’s “weakness” and “cannot be ignored by the civilized world.”

“These heinous actions… are a consequence of the past administration’s weakness and irresolution,” the president said in a statement. “President Obama said in 2012 that he would establish a ‘red line’ against the use of chemcial weapons and then did nothing.”
