President Donald Trump is weighing another military strike against Syria after a weekend chemical attack timed to the anniversary of the U.S. assault last year on dictator Bashar al-Assad's army.
Trump is meeting with his Cabinet this morning and will receive a briefing from senior military leaders later in the day. The United Nations Security Council is also meeting to discuss the matter in New York.
Yesterday, Trump warned the leaders of Syria, Iran and Russia there would be a 'big price to pay' for the gas attack that is said to have killed nearly 50 people. He also referred to Assad as an 'animal.'
