Trump’s Tomahawks Won’t Help

The US president said that he was moved to act against Bashar al-Assad's Syrian government by images of innocent children in Idlib Province who had been killed in the regime's latest chemical attack. Yet Trump has proposed a US budget that, if enacted, would cause far greater harm to people in Idlib and around the world.

NEW YORK – There is a tragic inconsistency in US President Donald Trump’s response to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s use of sarin gas against his country’s people. Trump said that he was moved to act by images of innocent children in Idlib province who had been killed by the deadly nerve agent. Yet Trump’s administration stands behind a proposed budget that will cause even greater harm to people in Idlib and around the world.
