Trump decided to abandon plans for more Russia sanctions
She said there was evidence the Assad government was behind the chemical weapons attack in Douma and it was "legally right" to join the strikes.
Administration officials said Monday it was unlikely Trump would approve any additional sanctions without another triggering event by Russian Federation, describing the strategy as being in a holding pattern...
Administration officials said the economic sanctions were under serious consideration, along with other measures that could be taken against Russian Federation, but said Trump had not given final authorization to implement them.
The extent to which the strikes impacted Assad's ability to launch more chemical attacks remains unclear.
The United States, France and Britain conducted an unprecedented missile attack Saturday on the Syrian regime that Paris described as a matter of honor but admitted had solved nothing.
Chemical weapons inspectors in Syria will be permitted to visit the site of an alleged chemical attack on Wednesday, Russia has said. While he declared success, the Pentagon said the pummeling of three chemical-related facilities left enough others intact to enable the Assad government to use banned weapons against civilians if it chooses.
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is pushing back against a suggestion by President Donald Trump's chief economic adviser that she was confused over possible new sanctions targeting Russian Federation. Both Syria, which denies any chemical use, and Russian Federation, which provides military support to the Syrian government, have reacted against the action.

Nikki Haley said Sunday the US planned to punish Moscow for its support of Syrian President Bashar Assad's government, but the White House later walked back the statement.
Al Jazeera's Khodr said that even if the OPCW finds that the chemical weapons attack happened, there would be no new punitive strikes.
However on a full scale deployment, such as the Iraq War, where plans are built over a longer period "it is absolutely right and appropriate for parliament to debate military action in advance", she said.
