US condemns Syria chemical attack, blames Assad
The White House confirms a “reprehensible” and “intolerable” chemical attack had taken place in Syria and pinned the blame squarely on Bashar Assad’s regime.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer says US President Donald Trump had been briefed extensively on the attack, and suggested it was in the “best interest” of the Syrians for Assad not to lead the country.
“Today’s chemical attack in Syria against innocent people, including women and children, is reprehensible,” Spicer says, adding the administration was “confident” in its assessment that Assad was to blame.
