U.S. intelligence determines Syria used chlorine as a chemical weapon on May 19. Sec. of State Mike Pompeo says the Trump administration will not let the action go 'unchallenged.'
U.S. intelligence has determined that the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad used chlorine as a chemical weapon on May 19, according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He said the Trump administration will not let it go"unchallenged."
In particular, the U.S. has tried to use funding for reconstruction, vowing to withhold any until Syria and its chief backer Russia agree to a political process. The announcement that the constitutional committee will convene in the coming weeks is a sign of that campaign's success, according to U.S. special envoy for Syria James Jeffrey, calling it a"glimmer of hope that this conflict can be ended the right way.
President Donald Trump has warned Syria and Russia of any escalation against Idlib, but has been unwilling to take actions to halt it. The Trump administration has twice conducted airstrikes on the regime, in April 2017 and April 2018 after Assad reportedly used sarin gas. The Assad regime and Russia have denied Assad's forces have used chemical weapons. The U.N. chemical weapons watchdog, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, or OPCW, confirmed chemical weapons were used in both attacks, but did not ascribe blame.
Special envoy Jeffrey later told reporters,"We're not going to tie ourselves down to any military or political, diplomatic action. ... Four people were wounded. It was four months."
