President Trump said on Friday he had ordered strikes on Syrian targets, seeking to punish President Bashar al-Assad for a suspected chemical attack near Damascus that killed more than 40 people, the New York Times reports.
Mr. Trump said Britain and France had joined the United States in the strikes.
Said Trump: “These are not the actions of a man. They are crimes of a monster instead.”
