Syria’s Assad must go after "chemical attack": Nikki Haley

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad cannot stay in power after a suspected chemical attack last week prompted the first direct U.S. military action against his government, Washington’s ambassador to the United Nations has said.


Nikki Haley’s comments in an interview that was aired on April 9 came as part of an apparent shift in U.S. policy toward al-Assad’s government after the alleged chemical attack last week on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun that killed 87 people, including many children.

Images of civilians suffering the apparent effects of a gas attack, including convulsions, vomiting and foaming at the mouth, provoked international outrage and prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to order a strike on a Syrian airbase.

In the interview with CNN, Haley said peace in Syria was impossible with al-Assad in power.
