US will strike if Assad uses chemical weapons on civilians: Trump security advisor

The United States will respond with military force if the regime of Bashar al-Assad continues to use chemical weapons in Syria, U.S. National Security Advisor HR McMaster said on Saturday.


"Public accounts and photos clearly show that Assad's chemical weapons use is continuing," McMaster told the Munich Security Conference. "It is time for all nations to hold the Syrian regime and its sponsors accountable for their actions."
