The White House said Thursday that President Donald Trump has not made any final decisions regarding a military action against Syria after convening with national security advisers at the White House.
The president told reporters ahead of the meeting that he was reviewing all options. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was among the top US officials attending the White House meeting with the president.
“No final decision has been made,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said after the meeting ended.
“We are continuing to asses intelligence and are engaged in conversations with our partners and allies.”
Sanders said Trump is scheduled to speak with France’s President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May later Thursday.
Trump, who earlier this month expressed his interest in pulling U.S. troops out of Syria, said that the alleged chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma is leaving the US with “little choice but to respond.”
