Trump's United Nations ambassador, Nikki Haley, said the United States had "multiple priorities" in Syria and that stability there was impossible with Assad as president. "There is no change to our military posture" in Syria, Tillerson said on ABC's 'This Week' program. Tillerson said the US priority in Syria was defeating Islamic State, the militant group also known as ISIS. "The failure related to the recent strike and the recent terrible chemical weapons attack in large measure is a failure on Russia's part to achieve its commitment to the international community," he added. McMaster said the United States was "prepared to do more" regarding military action in Syria if necessary.
