Boris Johnson says British military could help US in Syria
Britain could join the United States in taking military action against the Syrian regime, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said today.
Mr Johnson said the government may also bypass a House of Commons vote authorising action if the US asked for help.
The Foreign Secretary said it would be “very difficult to say no” if Donald Trump’s administration asks the UK for help in taking action against Bashar Assad’s regime in response to another chemical attack.
The US launched a cruise missile strike on a Syrian regime air base this month after President Assad allegedly killed scores of people in a sarin gas attack on a rebel-held area in Idlib province.
