The Trump administration’s accusation that Syrian forces are planning another chemical-weapons attack on rebel forces is also a warning to Russia and Iran that they are “on notice” if such an assault takes place, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said.
The U.S. identified “potential preparations” by President Bashar al-Assad’s military for the use of chemical weapons that appear similar to the attack that prompted President Donald Trump to order a cruise-missile strike against Syrian military targets on April 6, according to a statement from press secretary Sean Spicer late Monday.
