Keps. Good morning. Im Thomas Roberts. This is what were watching for you. New reaction from ps making no mention of the fallout over the syrian air strike, instead focusing on meetings with foreign leaders including the chinese president and the future of the diplomatic relations between our two countries, here is part of his weekly address. I have been clear about advocating for the National Interests of the United States, something so important to me and so important to our people. One of the reasons certainly that i got elected. I want to make sure the decision we make truly secure and the safety and security of our citizens. Our decisions will be guided by our values and our goals, and we are reject the path of inflexible ideology that too often leads to unintended consequences.

Navy war ships in the mediterranean. They are equipped with Cruise Missiles. These are the kind of missiles that could be launched. They involve no risk to u. S. Military personnel. Theyre unmanned. They fly at low altitudes. They can be adjusted and guided to invade syrian defenses. No matter which option is chosen there are russians on the ground. The u. S. Wants to avoid hitting them.

Why is President Trump blaming his predecessor instead of trying to oust assad . A busy day. 76 of the trump presidency. We have ivan watson live in seoul with breaking details on the Missile Launch. What do you know . Reporter good morning, chris. The missile was launched after dawn local time here on the korean peninsula. It was tracked by the u. S. Military and south korean military.

The United States. Thats where we are at. Every day you turn on the news every time you see i hit, you know im draining the swamp hometown small town throwdown. That was a great idea. I love it. Ainsley thank you, god. Steve welcome aboard, folks. It is fox friends for this friday the 13th. The 1st day of april. You are not afraid of that are you . Ainsley i aint afraid of no ghosts.

We regarded the president of the United States as the leader of the free world since world war ii as the leader of those states and countries that were open to democracy and International Rules and weve abdoe indicated this position. Its an extraordinary turn of events and one we need to pay a lot of attention to. Its pretty extraordinary. Youve worked with the intelligence community, you were secretary of defense. If you read this indictment, the specific details, names, times, plac places, all the stuff that the u. S. Intelligence Community Came up with to indict three senior Russian Military operatives with their names, middle names
