The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting yesterday to address the chemical weapons attack that killed over 80 innocent civilians in Syria this week. The U.S., Britain, and France blamed the Syrian government for the attack and criticized Russia for objecting a draft resolution condemning the use of chemical weapons.
In her speech to the UN Security Council, Haley warned that “when the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of states that we are compelled to take our own action.” Will the U.S. take sole military action in Syria? President Trump said that the attack “crossed a lot of lines,” but any type of intervention strategy remains to be foreseen either by the U.S. or the UN Security council as a whole.
