John McCain and Lindsey Graham -- who have frequently been critical of Trump, roundly praised the President's decision. "Unlike the previous administration, President Trump confronted a pivotal moment in Syria and took action. For that, he deserves the support of the American people." House Speaker Paul Ryan called the US military action "appropriate and just." "These tactical strikes make clear that the Assad regime can no longer count on American inaction as it carries out atrocities against the Syrian people," Ryan said in a statement.
