Syria war: Trump condemns Syria for 'chemical attack' on Douma by Jesus Ponce

In this article President Trumps expressed his feelings towards Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his allies Russian and Iran over a suspected chemical attack. Trump specifically said there will be a "big price to pay". The chemical attack is said to have killed dozens of people who were affiliated with rebel forces. The attack happened in Douma which is a rebel held city on April 7th. The UN is said to speak about the attack on Monday, April 9th. Syria and Russia both deny there was a chemical attack. However, a video surfaced where workers recorded lifeless-bodies foaming a white substance out of there mouths. Many victims were treated in a make-shift shelter, and there isn't a exact number of dead. This attack poses many threats. How far is Russia willing to vouch for its allies when they're clearly using chemical weapons against its own citizens? As for the international community, how will they treat Syria after its second chemical attack on its citizens? I believe the international cannot remain silent forever. Eventually its atrocities against their own people will reach a boiling point. Conflict is bound to happen since Russia and Iran are currently not on the best of terms.
