Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley slammed Russia Wednesday over its past role blocking the body from holding Syria’s Assad regime accountable, while hinting that the U.S. could take unilateral action in the wake of the latest deadly chemical weapons attack. The Trump administration has pointed its finger at Assad, but Russia has claimed that the chemicals were released when Syrian aircraft bombed a rebel-held factory making chemical weapons. “We regularly repeat tired taking points in support of a peace process that is regularly undermined by the Assad regime,” she said. She added, “If we’re not able to enforce resolutions preventing use of chemical weapons, what does that say for our chance of ending the broader conflict in Syria? "These heinous actions by the [Assad] regime are a consequence of the past administration's weakness and irresolution," Trump said in a statement.
