Trump: ‘Major decisions’ coming on Syria in ’24-48 hours’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump says Monday that “major decisions” would be made on a Syria response in the next day or two, after warning that Damascus would have a “big price to pay” over an alleged chemical attack on a rebel-held town.
Trump condemns what he calls a “heinous attack on innocent” Syrians in Douma, as he opens a cabinet meeting at the White House.
The suspected gas attack left dozens dead, according to rescuers and medics. Syria and its ally Russia have denied any use of chemical weapons.
“This is about humanity — it can’t be allowed to happen,” Trump says, adding that decisions would come in the “next 24-48 hours.”
