President Trump’s decision to intervene in the Syrian conflict for the first time in six years has been met with a mixture of condemnation and signals of support from around the world.
The US fired dozens of cruise missiles at an airbase from where it says a deadly chemical weapons attack was launched on Tuesday.
President Trump said he ordered the attack to protect America and called on all civilised nations to back the US.
But the move was condemned by Russia which said it was a violation of international law.
