McCain says Trump 'emboldened' Syria to launch chemical
attack New York Daily News ELIZABETH ELIZALDE
Sen. John McCain said President Trump’s comments suggesting he wants to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria “emboldened” President Bashar al Assad’s regime to commit the recent chemical attack that killed at least 40 people in the war-torn country.
“President Trump last week signaled to the world that the United States would prematurely ? withdraw from Syria,” the Republican senator from Arizona said in a statement Sunday.
“Bashar Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers have heard him, and emboldened by American inaction, Assad has reportedly launched another chemical attack against innocent men, women and children, this time in Douma,” McCain continued.
