They’re not mincing words. The White House has accused Russia of protecting Syria’s government from international blame after last week’s deadly suspected chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held village in Idlib.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Moscow carrying a similar message of explicit condemnation, shortly after G7 nations rejected an American proposal for economic sanctions against Russia. President Donald Trump, who says the U.S. won’t enter war in Syria, had previously praised Russian President Vladimir Putin, but this could mark a cooling of relations.
