Mattis won’t rule out retaliatory strikes over suspected Syria gas attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWASHINGTON — US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Monday points toward Russia’s role in a suspected poison gas attack in Syria, and says he will not rule out a military response.
“The first thing we have to look at is why are chemical weapons still being used at all when Russia was the framework guarantor of removing all the chemical weapons,” Mattis says at the Pentagon in a meeting with his Qatari counterpart.
“Working with our allies and our partners from NATO to Qatar and elsewhere, we are going to address this issue …. I don’t rule out anything right now.”
