Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may have believed that President Trump was really pulling out and thus felt free to apparently use chemical weapons against the city of Douma this past Saturday.

He has threatened a trade war against China — but at the same time he needs China’s help to coerce North Korea into making a deal.
