UK to join U.S. action in Syria if new chemical attack
April 27, 2017
Boris Johnson says that Britain would likely join the U.S. in airstrikes if Syria used chemical weapons again.
Britain could bomb the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad without first gaining the approval of MPs, says Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, adding it would be very hard to resist US pressure if the White House asked Britain to take part.
Johnson’s comments on Thursday follow the recent US bombing of an Assad forces airbase in Syria in response to a deadly chemical incident which the UK and US are attributing to the Syrian government.
