United Nations sources reported that the US is "locked and loaded" if Syria uses chemical weapons again, America's UN envoy Nikki Haley said the US and its allies France and Britain launched air strikes, targeting sites associated with Syria's chemical weapons capabilities. Earlier the joint operation was in response to a suspected chemical attack in the city of Douma last week.
Accordingly President Donald Trump "enforces" the red line and the US will sustain the pressure on the war-torn nation. She said "With yesterday's military action, our message was crystal clear and the United States of America will not allow the Assad regime to continue to use chemical weapons". Haley told UN Security Council meeting on Syria that "Last night, we obliterated the major research facility that it used to assemble weapons of mass murder".
Further Haley said she had spoken to President Trump, who said if the
Syrian regime uses "this poison gas" again, the United States is
"locked and loaded". She added that the US successfully hit the heart
of Syria's chemical weapons enterprise, and because of these actions, it is
confident that it has crippled Syria's chemical weapons program and they are
prepared to sustain this pressure, if the Syrian regime is foolish enough to
test our will.
