    McCain: Trump 'emboldened' Assad to commit war crimes

    Republican Senator John McCain attacked President Trump over declaring that the US would leave Syria.

    "The president's pledge to withdraw from Syria has only emboldened Assad, backed by Russia & Iran, to commit more war crimes in Douma. The president responded after last year's chemical attack. He should do so again & make Assad pay a price for his brutality," he tweeted.
