United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May said the government was right to order airstrikes against Syrian chemical weapons facilities, as opposition lawmakers complained about the lack of a parliamentary vote and accused her of being led by Donald Trump.
In a press conference in London after the attack, May said Britain, the U.S. and France needed to act quickly to send a clear message to Bashar Assad’s regime that the use of chemical weapons won’t be tolerated, and to ensure the operation itself was a success.
“This was not about interfering in a civil war, and it was not about regime change,” May said on Saturday. “These strikes are about deterring the barbaric use of chemical weapons in Syria and beyond.”
