At a cabinet meeting Monday morning, President Donald Trump condemned the suspected chemical attack in Syria, calling it "heinous" and saying that he will make “some major decisions” in the "next 24 to 48 hours." "It was horrible...You just don’t see those images,” he told the press pool. “This is about humanity and it can’t be allowed to happen...If it’s the Russians, if it’s Syria, if it’s Iran, if it’s all of them together, we’ll figure it out.” When asked if military action is off the table, he said “nothing is off the table.” Trump also said that he will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in May or early June.
