The US recently launched a cruise-missile attack on an airfield and military infrastructure controlled by Syrian President Bashar Assad. This was in response to a chemical attack that killed at least 80 people, many of whom are children, in the Idlib province earlier.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who was initially resistant to the idea of becoming involved in Syria, radically changed his stance following the chemical attack and said the strike was "in the vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons."
