Syria: President Trump sent a loud message to Syria's Bashar al-Assad for his use of deadly Sarin gas against his own people: Your days of terrorizing your own people with chemical weapons are about to end. But many others are getting Trump's message, too.

"It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons."
