SALT LAKE CITY — The all-Republican members of Utah’s congressional delegation reacted, mostly with praise, to word that President Trump had authorized airstrikes in response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria, the Deseret News reports.
The Syrian government has denied using chemical weapons, which are banned under an international agreement.
HATCH on @POTUS’s Syria retaliation:
“The response, deliberated meticulously with international partners and carried out with their backing and participation, reflects the President’s commitment to restoring America’s leadership in bringing Assad and his backers to justice..” pic.twitter.com/AHMCGhXyZv

Tonight, America and our allies are sending a clear message that we will not stand idly by while the Syrian Regime uses chemical weapons on it’s own civilians. My prayers are with our brave military men and women.

My thoughts and prayers are with the American service men and women in harms way tonight. I look forward to hearing from the President about his strategy for Syria and whether he plans to seek authorization from Congress for any further use of force.

Tonight the United States took decisive and precise action in reaction to atrocious human rights violations by a murderous regime in #Syria. We stand together as a nation. God bless our brave servicemen and women who are in harm’s way and serving our country. #utpol
