President Donald Trump warned Russia via tweet on Wednesday that missiles could soon be headed the way of its ally, Syria. Trump’s threat comes in response to Saturday’s alleged chemical attack in the town of Douma, Syria. Russia disputes that there was a chemical attack, and has said it will meet U.S. strikes that threaten Russian lives with a response.
