The United States said it hopes for a vote late Thursday on a U.N. Security Council resolution that would condemn the chemical attack. President Donald Trump has condemned the attack, saying it had crossed "many, many lines," and put the blame squarely on Assad's forces. On Wednesday, his U.N. envoy Nikki Haley strongly hinted some U.S. action was coming if the Security Council doesn't act. He did not say whether the government knew in advance that the warehouse contained chemical weapons. The minister said al-Qaida and the Islamic State group have been bringing chemical weapons from neighboring Iraq.
