The president boasted that the missiles the U.S. is set to launch will be “nice and new and ‘smart.'” “You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!” Trump tweeted.

The U.S. is working with Great Britain and France to deal with Syria.

Trump previously launched a strike on a Syrian airfield in the spring of 2017 as a response to an alleged chemical attack.

Secretary of Defense James Mattis stated Wednesday: “We stand ready to provide military options if they are appropriate as the President determined.”

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders echoed these sentiments, saying “all options remain on the table.”

According to the Syrian-American Medical Society (SAMS) — and other organizations assisting in Syria — more than 500 civilians have been cared for to address symptoms “indicative of exposure to a chemical agent.” Sams and other local groups working in Syria released reports Wednesday that said 70 people had died from the attack.
