Trump removes Bannon
from security council
WASHINGTON (AP) — President
Donald Trump has removed chief
strategist Steve Bannon from the
National Security Council, reversing
an earlier, controversial decision to
give Bannon access to the group’s
high-level meetings.
A new memorandum about the
council’s composition was published
Wednesday in the Federal Register.
The memo no longer lists the chief
strategist as a member of the Principals
Committee, a group of high-ranking
officials who meet to discuss pressing
national security priorities.
A senior White House official said
Wednesday that Bannon was initially
placed on the National Security
Council after Trump’s inauguration as
a measure to ensure implementation of
the president’s vision, including efforts
to downsize and streamline operations
at the NSC.
Bannon’s addition to the NSC
sparked criticism that it was
inappropriate for the political adviser
to play a role in national security
matters.

In this photo taken on Tuesday and made available
Wednesday, Turkish experts evacuate a victim of al-
leged chemical weapons attacks in Syrian city of Idlib,
at a hospital in Turkey.
Trump condemns
Syria attack but won’t
telegraph U.S. response
part of Obama’s stance —
that chemical weapons use is
intolerable — while stopping
short of saying what might
come next.
That left some Assad
opponents wanting more.
“It’s simply impossible
to shame the Assad and
(Russian President Vladimir)
Putin regimes with words
alone,” said Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C.
The strongest indication
that the U.S. might act
came at the United Nations,
where U.N. Ambassador
Nikki Haley held up photos
of the attack’s victims in an
emotional plea to the Secu-
rity Council to intervene.
“When the United Nations
consistently fails in its duty
to act collectively, there are
times in the life of states that
we are compelled to take our
own action,” Haley declared.
Trump tells newspaper
Obama aide might have
broken the law
WASHINGTON (AP) — Citing no
evidence, President Donald Trump on
Wednesday accused his predecessor’s
national security adviser of breaking
the law, one month after he accused
former President Barack Obama of
illegally wiretapping him.
In an interview with The New York
Times, Trump said Obama’s national
security adviser, Susan Rice, committed
a crime when she asked government
analysts to disclose the names of Trump
associates documented in intelligence
reports. Trump would not say if he
reviewed new intelligence to support
his claim. He told the Times he would
say more “at the right time.”
Rice is the latest target for Trump
and his embattled defenders. She has
firmly denied that she did anything
inappropriate in requesting the
identities of Trump associates. As the
national security adviser, Rice would
have been authorized to seek identities
of people whose names were redacted
from intelligence reports. Officials
typically “unmask” Americans if it is

“Absolutely false,” Rice declared.
New GOP health plan
could raise premiums;
no vote scheduled
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Republican leaders prepared
Wednesday to send lawmakers home
for a two-week recess without voting
on their troubled health care bill, as
prospects for a quick deal among party
factions moved farther out of reach.
Meanwhile, policy experts said the
latest GOP health care idea could mean
going back to a time when people with
medical problems were charged much
higher premiums for individual policies.
Thursday’s house floor schedule
makes no mention of a vote.
Conservatives and moderates
blamed each other for failure to come
to an agreement. Already in jeopardy,
the GOP drive to repeal “Obamacare”
could get more complicated as weeks
go by with no resolution of internal
differences.

BEIRUT (AP) —
Diplomats at the U.N.
Security council sparred
Wednesday over whether
to hold President Bashar
Assad’s
government
responsible for a chemical
weapons attack that killed
more than 80 people in
northern Syria, while
U.S. intelligence officials,
Doctors Without Borders
and the U.N. healthy
agency said evidence
pointed to nerve gas
exposure.
The Trump adminis-
tration and other world
leaders said the Syrian
government was to
blame, but Moscow, a
key ally of Assad, said
the assault was caused
by a Syrian airstrike that
hit a rebel stockpile of
chemical arms.
Early U.S. assess-
ments showed the use of
chlorine gas and traces
of the nerve agent sarin
in the attack Tuesday
that terrorized the Syrian
town of Khan Sheikhoun,
according to two U.S.
officials who weren’t
authorized to speak
publicly on the matter and
demanded anonymity.
Israeli
military
intelligence
officers
also
believe
Syrian
government forces were
behind the attack, Israeli
defense officials told the
Associated Press. Israel
believes Assad has tons
of chemical weapons still
in his arsenal, despite a
concerted operation three
years ago by the Organi-
zation for the Prohibition
of Chemical Weapons
to rid the government
of its stockpile, said the
officials.
Victims of the attack
showed signs of nerve
gas exposure, the World
Health
Organization
and Doctors Without
Borders said, including
suffocation, foaming at
the mouth, convulsions,
constricted pupils and
involuntary defecation.
Paramedics were using
fire hoses to wash the
chemicals from the bodies
of victims. Medical teams
also reported smelling
bleach on survivors of the
attack, suggesting chlo-
rine gas was also used.
The magnitude of the
attack was reflected in
the images of the dead —
children piled in heaps for
burial, a father carrying
his lifeless young twins.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
His expression grave and his
words emphatic, President
Donald Trump declared
on Wednesday the deadly
chemical attack in Syria had
crossed “many, many lines”
and abruptly changed his
views of Syrian President
Bashar Assad. But he refused
to say what the U.S. might do
in response.
Trump issued no ulti-
matums in comments that
were being scoured by world
leaders for signs of how the
new president would react
to a global crisis. In a rare
reversal of roles, Trump was
more reserved than many of
his top advisers — including
his U.N. envoy, who revived
the hard-hitting rhetoric of
Trump’s political campaign
and strongly hinted some
U.S. action was coming.
Trump himself was
noncommittal.
“I’m not saying I’m doing
anything one way or another,
but I’m certainly not going
to be telling you,” he told
reporters.
He blamed the attack
squarely on Assad’s forces,
though the embattled Syrian
leader and his Russian
backers denied it. He
suggested that the assault that
killed 72 people had dimin-
ished his former reluctance to
plunge the U.S. further into
the complex and dangerous
turmoil in the Middle East.
“When you kill innocent
children, innocent babies —
babies, little babies — with a
chemical gas that is so lethal,
people were shocked to hear
what gas it was, that crosses
many, many lines,” Trump
said in the White House Rose
Garden. U.S. officials said
the gas was likely chlorine,
with traces of a nerve agent
like sarin.
While continuing to
fault predecessor Barack
Obama for much of the
current situation in Syria, he
acknowledged that dealing
with the crisis is now his own
responsibility and vowed to
“carry it very proudly.”
Only days earlier multiple
members of Trump’s admin-
istration had said Assad’s
ouster was no longer a U.S.
priority, drawing outrage
from Assad critics in the U.S.
and abroad. But Trump said
Tuesday’s attack “had a big
impact on me — big impact.”
“My attitude towards
Syria and Assad has changed
very much,” he said.
Since the attack Tuesday
in rebel-held territory in
northern Syria, Trump has
been under increasing pres-
sure to explain whether the
attack would bring a U.S.
response. After all, Trump’s
first reaction was merely to
blame Obama’s “weakness”
in earlier years for enabling
Assad.
Obama had put Assad on
notice that using chemical
weapons would cross a “red
line” necessitating a U.S.
response, but then failed to
follow through, pulling back
from planned airstrikes after
Congress wouldn’t vote to
approve them. Trump and
other critics have cited that as
a key moment the U.S. lost
much global credibility.
“I now have responsi-
bility,” Trump said. “That
responsibility could be made
a lot easier if it was handled
years ago.”
Yet he was adamant
that he would not telegraph
any potential U.S. military
retaliation, saying anew
that that was a mistake the
Obama administration had
repeatedly made.
