President Donald Trump is considering implementing new sanctions against Russia and Iran, the US ambassador to the UN said.
“We’re calling [Russia and Iran] out,” US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in an interview with CNN on Sunday.
Speaking to the host of the State of the Union show Jake Tapper, the US official said that the issue of the new sanctions is already being discussed.

“But I don’t think anything is off the table at this point. I think what you’re going to see is strong leadership. You’re going to continue to see the United States act when we need to act,” she said.
Press TV reports:
The comments were made after US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he would look into stepping up sanctions on Russia and Iran, which support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The two countries are already under various types of US sanctions.
Washington has alleged that the government of President Assad is responsible for the last week’s suspected chemical attack in Idlib province which killed more than 80 people.
Moscow and Damascus have denied that the Syrian government had anything to do with the attack. The Russian Defense Ministry said the US had no proof of chemical weapons at al-Shayrat airbase, where it fired 59 Tomahawk missiles, killing several people and reportedly destroying a number of Syrian aircraft.
Iran has condemned both the alleged chemical attack and the US missile strike on Syria, saying Washington’s illegal action will embolden terrorist groups in the Middle East region.
‘US has evidence that Assad was behind attack’
In her interview with CNN, Haley insisted that the US administration has evidence that the Syrian government was behind the April 4 chemical attack
“What we’ve seen is, you know, in our meetings this week, we were told of the evidence,” she said. “We saw the evidence. The President saw the evidence. All of that is naturally classified. And I’m sure when they can declassify that, they will.”
On Sunday, Haley once again threatened Syria with further military action, saying President Donald Trump could order more strikes if necessary. She issued a similar threat hours after the April 7 missile strike.
“I was trying to give warning and notice to the members of the Security Council and the international community that (Trump) won’t stop here,” she said, adding. “If he needs to do more, he will do more.”
‘US strike intended to send message to Russia’
In a separate interview NBC News on Sunday, Haley said the US missile attack in Syria was intended to send a message to the Russian government.
“The entire administration was in agreement that this was something that had to be done. This was something that needed to tell Assad, ‘Enough is enough,'” she said.
“And this is something to let Russia know, ‘You know what? We’re not going to have you cover for this regime anymore. And we’re not going to allow things like this to happen to innocent people.'”
She went on to say that the United States will not allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to “have Assad’s back anymore.”

I think Syria is a banksters war because fo their free economy, which the oligarchs are after. And yes I agree that Israel is central to the US wars. As for Trump he has capitulated to the Rothschilds, maybe they have something on him….any decisions he makes now re. Syria will not be his own, not really, but he will be blamed and boy the people will hate him for it.. And look at that monkey Nikki Haley go! She is definitely a globalist as is MCMasters. These wars had been planned years before by the illuminati / freemasons or whatever they call themselves. WW1, WW2 and now WW3, they want it.
Heres one that did this morning. I did not do it, but Disqus is now on the site.

I am from Vancouver,Canada and I wanted to say that it is the USA that should be condemned, not Russia and Iran.While Russia and Iran are fighting against the terrorists in Syria, the USA is supporting these terrorists.Russia and Iran should ignore the Yankees and continue fighting against the terrorists in Syria.The USA and its allies are making things worse in Syria.They are also a problem in Palestine.
