Trump announces military strikes against Syria, explosions reported in DamascusBy Rahul Kalvapalle National Online Journalist Global News April 13, 2018 9:02 pm
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that the U.S., France and the United Kingdom have launched a joint military operation against the Syrian government.
A short time ago, I ordered the United States Armed Forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapons capabilities of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, Trump said from the White House.
A combined operation with the armed forces of France and the United Kingdom is now underway. We thank them both.
