川普總統考慮如何對敘利亞疑似化武攻擊做出反應

U.S. President Donald Trump says his administration will likely say "after the fact" how it decided to respond to a suspected chemical attack on the outskirts of Syria's capital.

"It will be met, and it will be met forcefully," Trump said before meeting with senior military leaders late Monday.

He highlighted what he said was the power of the United States to stop atrocities like the attack Saturday in rebel-held eastern Ghouta that killed at least 40 people.

"We have a lot of options, militarily," he said, without giving specifics. Last year, he ordered airstrikes on a Syrian airfield used to launch another chemical attack.

Trump was critical of former President Barack Obama for what he said was a failing strategy of publicizing planned military maneuvers ahead of time.美國總統川普說，他的政府很可能在事實確定之後宣佈如何針對敘利亞首都郊區受到的疑似化學武器攻擊做出反應。

川普總統星期一在與軍方高級官員開會前說，將會針對這個攻擊“做出反應，而且是強大的反應”。

川普總統強調，美國有力量阻止類似星期六在敘利亞反政府力量控制的東古塔發生的攻擊行動。那次攻擊造成至少40人喪生。

川普總統說，”我們有很多軍事選項”，但是他沒有透露細節。他去年下令對敘利亞一個被用來發動化學武器攻擊的機場發動了空中打擊。

川普總統一直對奧巴馬總統的軍事戰略持批評態度。他說，提前宣佈軍事行動計劃是失敗的戰略。
