US will not let chemical weapons attack take place in Syria - envoy to UN

United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Tuesday Washington will not “let chemical weapons happen to Syrian people anymore.”
Speaking to staff at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Hayley praised Turkey for sheltering Syrian refugees fleeing the conflict.

Haley is on a two-day visit to Turkey to see how Syrian refugees “are coping, day in and day out,” to see U.N. humanitarian work and highlight the U.S. aid response.
 
It is be the first overseas trip by Haley, a member of President Donald Trump's cabinet, and follows an effort by Trump to temporarily ban refugees from entering the United States and to cut funding to the United Nations and its agencies.
