But others said it would be wiser and more effective to wait for a period longer than three days after the U.S., British and French infuriated Russia with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2018\/04\/14\/retaliatory-strikes-on-syria-underway\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">missile strikes on Syria<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The officials could not say when the new sanctions would be announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continued to hail the missile attack as perfectly carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/flashpoints\/2018\/04\/15\/analysis-trump-finds-leaving-syria-tougher-than-he-thought\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18104042404513.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Analysis: Trump finds leaving Syria tougher than he thought<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">In heated exchanges with his national security team in recent weeks, President Donald Trump repeatedly made clear he saw little incentive for the United States to be involved in Syria\u2019s intractable civil war.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump tweeted \u201cMission Accomplished\u201d on Saturday after U.S., French and British warplanes and ships launched more than 100 missiles nearly unopposed by Syrian air defenses. While he declared success, the Pentagon said the pummeling of three chemical-related facilities left enough others intact to enable the Assad government to use banned weapons against civilians if it chooses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s choice of words recalled a similar claim associated with President George W. Bush following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Bush addressed sailors aboard a Navy ship in May 2003 alongside a \u201cMission Accomplished\u201d banner, just weeks before it became apparent that Iraqis had organized an insurgency that would tie down U.S. forces for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later Sunday, Trump sent a letter to congressional leaders informing them in writing of his decision to order the strike. Under the War Powers Resolution, the president must keep Congress informed of such actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nighttime assault on Syria was carefully limited to minimize civilian casualties and avoid direct conflict with Russia, but confusion arose over the extent to which Washington warned Moscow it was coming. The Pentagon said it gave no explicit warning. The U.S. ambassador in Moscow, Jon Huntsman, said in a video, \u201cBefore we took action, the United States communicated with\u201d Russia to \u201creduce the danger of any Russian or civilian casualties.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House scrambled Monday to walk back U.N.
