Hours after the United States launched cruise missiles at a Syrian air base, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said President Donald Trump should outline a strategy if he is seeking additional military action.
Trump’s missile order was a response to a chemical attack on civilians, killing dozens. Trump said Syrian President Bashar Assad was behind the attack and decried the deaths of innocent children.
The move appeared to be a retreat from an “America First” mantra Trump often mentions. “I’m not, and I don’t want to be, the president of the world,” Trump said just days ago in widely reported remarks. “I’m the President of the United States — and from now on it’s going to be America first.”
In a statement after the missile bombardment, Warren, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called the use of chemical weapons against Syrian men, women and children a “clear violation of international law.”
