Donald Trump gave a statement on Thursday night after the US attacked
the Syrian base in retaliation to what he has described the chemical
attack in Idlib province which killed several men, women and children as
an “affront to humanity”. Trump said the photos of the dead Syrian
people affected him profoundly and transformed his thinking about the
Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad. He called 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'. Read his full
statement after the cut...
My fellow Americans, on Tues 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
We ask for God's wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled
world. We pray for the lives of the wounded and for the souls of those
who have passed. And we hope that as long as America stands for justice,
that peace and harmony will in the end prevail
Goodnight and God bless America and the entire world.
Thank you.
