The Syrian government has denied allegations from the US that it is preparing another chemical weapons attack.
Syria’s Minister of National Reconciliation, Ali Haider, said the government has no chemical weapons, and accused the White House of starting a diplomatic war at the United Nations.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Monday said the US had identified “potential” preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the Syrian government.
The following day, the Pentagon said what looked like “active preparations” for a chemical attack had been seen at Al Shayrat.
