Foxnews.com -- President Trump on Friday announced that he has approved military strikes in Syria against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The United States launched the response, along with assurance from France and the United Kingdom, Trump stated. "Important infrastructure was destroyed," Dunford said, noting that sites associated with the Syrian chemical weapons program were both "targeted and destroyed." But during the weekend, images of dead and sick women and children again circulated following another alleged chemical attack. "The purpose of our actions tonight is to establish a strong deterrent against the production, spread and use of chemical weapons," Trump said.
