The U.S claims it has proof that Bashar Al-Assad’s regime is behind the chemical attack in Syria.

This is the first time the U.S has claimed to have solid proof that the Assad regime was behind the chemical attacks.
However, Trump has tweeted on the topic.
Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our “Thank you America?”

Throughout his 2016 campaign, Trump promised to get out of Syria after the destruction of ISIS. Trump has certainly done that.
