President Donald Trump, has given reasons why he ordered the United States, US, military to attack Syria.
In a statement made available to the Press on Thursday night, Trump insisted that the attack on the Syrian base, was in retaliation to an “affront to humanity”, caused by the chemical attack in Idlib province, which led to the death of many.
The statement reads:
“My fellow Americans, on Tuesday, Syrian Dictator, Bashar Al Assad, launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians. Using a deadly nerve agent, Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women, and children.
“It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack.
“No child of God should ever suffer such horror.
“Tonight, I ordered a targeted mil strike on the airfield in Syria, from where the chemical attack was launched. It is in this vital national security interest of the United States, to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. There can be no dispute, that Syria used banned chemical weapons, violated its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and ignored the urging of the UN Security Council.
“Years of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behavior have all failed, and failed very dramatically.
“As a result, the refugee crisis continues to deepen, and the region continues to destabilize, threatening the United States and its allies.
“Tonight, I call on all civilized nations to join us in seeking to end the slaughter and bloodshed in Syria, and also to end terrorism of all kinds and all types.
