US President Donald Trump has accused Syria’s leader Bashar al-Assad of committing “horrible” crimes against humanity, and vowed to prevent his regime from carrying out any more chemical attacks.

Speaking at a White House press conference with lebanon’s Prime Minister Saad Hariri yesterday, Trump also called the lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah a threat to the entire Middle East. “I’m not a fan of Assad. I certainly think that what he’s done to that country and to humanity is horrible,” Trump said.
