Trump Addresses Nation After Ordering Missile Strike on Syria
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US President Donald Trump should have asked for authorization from Congress before launching the Thursday missile strike against a military field in Syria, as required by the US Constitution, Senator Rand Paul said in a statement.
