U.S. President Donald Trump has announced he ordered military action against Syria in response to chemical weapons attacks by the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
Syria’s state-run television says coordinated air strikes by the U.S., Britain and France have hit a scientific research center in the suburbs of the capital Damascus, among other targets.
A senior U.S. official says President Trump is expected to discuss with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on how to respond to North Korea when they meet next week.
