[ sirens ] u. S. , british and french officials targeted the weapons capabilities of Bashir Al Assad against the civilians. Moments ago, President Trump tweeted out, a perfectly executed attack. Thank you to france and United Kingdom for their wisdom and power of their military. Could not have had a better result. Syria and russia condemned the strikes. Russian president , vladimir putin, calling the mission an act of aggression. We have correspondents across the region and in the capital covering the story. Bill kneeley is in lebanon, Kelly Odonnell is at the white house. We begin with bill kneely in beirut. What do you think it would take to expect military action from syria . To expect military action from syria, you mean in retaliation . Exactly. I dont think theres any prospect of that at the minute. Indeed, it does seem like a lid is being put on this whole incident, these air strikes. The u. S. Defense department saying last night that this was a one off, even though we heard Pr
With us from day beruit is bill neely. Lets start with you, kelly. We are half an hour out from what we are expecting to be a White House Press briefing. We are now into the time period where the president says a decision will be made. We know jim mattis walked into the white house just over an hour and a half ago. It was thanks to our cameras capturing the image of the defense secretary walking into the white house that we knew for certain he was here. We were talking to a range of officials and people didnt want to disclose that he was here. That may be just a matter of them not feeling they were authorized to do so or it might be this is the cane of session with the president or others here that they didnt want to get public attention. Certainly the secretary comes here to meet with the president from time to time the. It takes on new importance given the tweet schedule that the president put out, the backdrop of the chemical attack in syria and the time line that the president prov
Seemed far apart on the iran nuclear deal. Ma kron is for it, trump isnt so sure. What we have to work on obviously with iran and the different, the p5 and our allies is to find a fair deal where we can fix the overall situation. There is a chance and nobody knows what im going to do on the 12th although mr. President , you have a pretty good idea, but well see. But well see also if i do what some people expect whether or not it will be possible to do a new deal with solid foundations because this is a deal with decayed foundations. We begin with the latest turmoil in the administration. The president today seemed to offer an offramp or a plank to walk on top admiral ronnie jackson, his nominee for secretary for Veterans Affairs. I said to dr. Jackson, what do you need it for . So well see what happens. I dont want to put a man through who is not aply person. I dont want to put a man through a process like this. Its too ugly and too disgusting. So well see what happens. Hell make a dec
Bill and said this with our sean hannity. Without the rhetoric we wouldnt have been here. I believe that. We did sanctions and all the things you do but without the rhetoric, other administrations, i dont want to get specific on that, but they had a policy of silence. If they said something very bad or threatening or horrible, just dont answer. Thats not the answer. Thats not what you have to do. Bill theres a lot more in that story were watching today. Also this. A war of words between Rod Rosenstein and the republicans on a committee in the house. Catherine herridge has more and kevin corke has more. Good morning. Great to be with you and theres cynicism that suggests the president gave kim jongun a great deal but thats a photo op that will play well in pong yeong and the president just arrived not long ago after the whirlwind strip that some argue was long on handshakes and short on detail. He took to twitter saying everybody can now feel safer than the day i took office. There is n
Hour of being up and negotiating. We want to denuclearize that whole situat you know whats been happening for years. We had no choice, we had to. Sean we have the full interview with the president coming up in toto, including some historic insight. Without a doubt, for some i was a tremendous success and complete, verifiable, irreversible, denuclearization of the entire peninsula is in the works, including a safer word to your kids and future generations. Plus, we will compare the president s diplomacy surrounding north korea to that of president reagans strategy. There were remarkable paraparallels there, but no one on the left, no one on the mainstream media, and very few in the Democratic Party saw this coming. They have blind pathological hatred for the president , and it seemingly knows no bounds. Are actively rooting for the president and in the end, try fail on the world stage because it doesnt benefit them. Regardless of all the potential danger and the consequences on the road
