British Prime Minister Theresa May and US President Donald Trump have said the world must act to ensure those behind a suspected chemical attack in Syria are held to account, as Washington considers a multinational military response.
Trump promised on Monday forceful action in response to the attack that killed at least 60 people and injured more than 1,000, according to a Syrian relief group. US officials said military options were being developed.
May spoke with Trump by telephone on Tuesday afternoon, agreeing that the reported attack was "utterly reprehensible" and that the international community must respond to uphold the worldwide prohibition on chemical weapon use.
"They agreed they would continue working closely together and with international partners to ensure that those responsible were held to account," a statement from May's office said.
