美国总统川普说，他的政府很可能在事实确定之后宣布如何针对叙利亚首都郊区受到的疑似化学武器攻击做出反应。
川普总统星期一在与军方高级官员开会前说，将会针对这个攻击“做出反应，而且是强大的反应”。
川普总统强调，美国有力量阻止类似星期六在叙利亚反政府力量控制的东古塔发生的攻击行动。那次攻击造成至少40人丧生。
川普总统说，”我们有很多军事选项”，但是他没有透露细节。他去年下令对叙利亚一个被用来发动化学武器攻击的机场发动了空中打击。
川普总统一直对奥巴马总统的军事战略持批评态度。他说，提前宣布军事行动计划是失败的战略。
U.S. President Donald Trump says his administration will likely say “after the fact” how it decided to respond to a suspected chemical attack on the outskirts of Syria’s capital.
“It will be met, and it will be met forcefully,” Trump said before meeting with senior military leaders late Monday.
He highlighted what he said was the power of the United States to stop atrocities like the attack Saturday in rebel-held eastern Ghouta that killed at least 40 people.
“We have a lot of options, militarily,” he said, without giving specifics. Last year, he ordered airstrikes on a Syrian airfield used to launch another chemical attack.
Trump was critical of former President Barack Obama for what he said was a failing strategy of publicizing planned military maneuvers ahead of time.
