Meanwhile in the United States, deep divisions have developed over the Syria Attack. CGTN's Toby Muse brings us more.

The U.S. reaction to the airstrikes in Syria has been muted and mixed. Some in the Republican Party question whether it was legal for President Donald Trump to launch an attack on another country without approval from Congress. On social media, some of Trump's most ardent supporters are dismayed. They said they voted for him because they hoped the U.S. would become LESS militarily involved in the Middle East, not more. Democrats such as Minority House Leader Nancy Pelosi didn't really oppose the airstrikes, but urged a comprehensive Syria policy. Under former President Barack Obama and now Trump, the U.S. has struggled to find a policy for Syria's conflict. As much as the U.S. loathes President Bashar al-Assad, it fears that if his government collapses, this could spur the rise of radical groups like the Islamic State. The White House is committed to pressuring the Syrian government to stop allegedly using chemical weapons. The U.S. is targeting Syria's allies, including Russia. On Monday, the U.S. will announce more sanctions against Moscow.

NIKKI HALEY US AMBASSADOR TO THE UN "What we're doing is letting Russia know this is not something that we want to be a part of. It is not something we'll tolerate, and they have to make a decision."

The U.S. says it hopes more sanctions will encourage Russia to exert pressure on Syria. Haley said last week the Syrian government has used chemical weapons more than 50 times in the civil war, something the Syrian government denies. Toby Muse, CGTN, Washington.
