“Something should happen” in response to the deadly chemical attack in Syria, President Donald Trump said Thursday, two days after warplanes dropped toxic gas over the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun. “There is no doubt in our minds, and the information we have supports that Syria, the Syria regime under the leadership of President Bashar al-Assad, are responsible for this attack,” Tillerson told reporters. A U.S. official told the news service those options could include deploying cruise missiles and grounding Syrian military aircraft. “It is very important that the Russian government consider carefully their continued support for the Assad regime,” he said. Asked whether the U.S. would lead international efforts to remove the Syrian president, Tillerson replied that “steps are underway,” Peter Baker of The New York Times reported.
