US warning to UN over Syrian chemical attack

US Ambassador Nikki Haley warned on Wednesday that US President's Trump administration will take action against chemical attacks in Syria - if the UN Security Council fails to act.

Haley - who said the attack bears "all the hallmarks" of President Bashar Assad's government - urged the council at an emergency meeting to immediately approve a resolution drafted by the US, Britain and France that condemns and threatens consequences for the use of chemical weapons.
