Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said on Sunday that “if he needs to,” President Donald Trump will “do more” in Syria after approving a military strike on Thursday night against a Syrian air field.
“This is how he responded to the chemical attack in Syria,” Haley said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Haley said she tried “to give warning and notice to the members of the security council and the international community” that Trump will not “stop here.”
“If he needs to do more, he will do more,” Haley said. “So really now what happens depends on how everyone responds to what happened in Syria and make sure we start moving toward a political solution and we start finding peace in that area.”
Trump ordered the strike after an apparent chemical weapons attack in Syria resulted in the deaths of dozens of civilians on Tuesday.

We will have our hands full,with our upcoming war with North Korea. And our continued presence in Syria and Iraq. And Yemen? Oh, and Iran. And I guess Russia since a couple of these are client states.
If he needs to. Madame ambassador, can you give us a rough number–at what Approve/Disapprove poll number will further action be required? Or can we just use the raw Job Approval number? I want to plan when to head for the shelter. At my age it’s painful to duck and cover. TIA-
If he needs to…distract the cable networks from forthcoming proof that his flunkies and relations conspired with a foreign power to influence an election. Man, Syria is in real trouble when the hard evidence starts leaking out.
I don’t disagree with Haley’s message, but I don’t have any confidence that this is “the” message of the administration, especially after T-Rex-Alzheimer’s series of remarks.
“Trump”, “He”. not the United States – “Only he can fix it”.
