Assad took Trump?s chemical warning ?seriously?
BRUSSELS: US President Donald Trump´s warning to the Syrian government **t to carry out a chemical ******* attack appears to have worked, Pentagon chief Jim Mattis said on Wednesday.
"It appears that they took the warning seriously," Mattis said, referring to the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. White House spokesman Sean Spicer warned Monday night that if "Assad conducts a**ther mass murder attack using chemical *******, he and his military will pay a heavy price." The warning came after US intelligence **ticed suspect activity at the airbase used to launch a suspected chemical strike two months ago. "I think the president speaking about (these preparations) says how seriously we took them. He wanted to dissuade them," Mattis told reporters as he flew into Brussels for a Nato defence ministers meeting. The April 4 attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhun was reported to have killed at least 87 people, including many children, and images of the dead and of suffering victims provoked global outrage. Washington launched a retaliatory cruise missile strike days later against the Shayrat airbase -- the first direct US action against the regime, which denies any use of chemical *******. When asked how he knew Trump´s warning had worked, Mattis said: "They didn´t do it," a reference to the fact ** chemical strike had occurred since Monday. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Assad took Trump?s chemical warning ?seriously? || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
