Huge meeting for the president in maralago, florida. He will meet with the president of china. And the United States nations a big day of breaking news. Testing time for the commander in chief who has been on the job just 76 days, an apparent chemical weapons attack in syria, scores of children and others. Pyongyang patience exhausted. Pressure for the president on two big fronts, pressure to consider a much needed response. First at the United Nations this morning, an emergency Securities Council session. When the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of state that we are compelled to take our own action.
