(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) President Trump's homeland security adviser said Sunday it's possible the U.S. could hit Syria with a missile attack or other military action following reports of another chemical attack on its citizens, The Hill reports.
Thomas Bossert said on ABC's 'This Week' that the Trump administration is looking at the details of the alleged attack on a hospital in Douma, Syria, which left dozens dead. The death count will likely rise.
'I wouldn't take anything off the table. These are horrible photos, we're looking into the attack at this point,' Bossert said.
President Trump on Sunday also blasted his predecessor, former President Obama, for not responding to previous chemical attacks by Syria with military force.
Trump clashed with many of his national security and military advisers last week when he said he plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria 'very soon.' He has suggested that the U.S. could extend its military presence in Syria if other countries, including Saudi Arabia, pay for it.
