Foreign Policy: In international diplomacy, credibility is all important. After taking out a Syrian chemical weapons base, President Trump now has credibility in spades. He'll need it in dealing with North Korea's nuclear threat.

Keen observers have noted that the missile attacks on the Syrian air base were launched as President Trump sat down last week to dinner with China's President Xi Jinping. No doubt Xi immediately recognized that this president, unlike the previous one, acts quickly to make sure bad situations don't get worse.
