Trump says Syria attack ‘crossed a lot of lines’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump denounces the Syrian regime’s latest alleged chemical weapons attack as an “affront to humanity,” warning it would not be tolerated.
Speaking alongside Jordan’s King Abdullah at a White House news conference, Trump does not lay out in any detail how the United States would respond to the killings.
“It crossed a lot of lines for me,” Trump says. “When you kill innocent children, innocent babies, little babies… that crosses many, many lines, beyond a red line, many, many lines.”
He adds that his attitude towards Syrian President Bashar Assad “has changed very much.”
