President Donald Trump has emerged from a meeting with his national security team without a "final decision" on how to respond to a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Trump held a meeting Thursday afternoon with his team to discuss the situation.
But she says, "No final decision has been made."
Sanders adds that US officials are "continuing to assess intelligence" and are "engaged in conversations with our partners and allies."
Trump is slated to speak with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May Thursday evening.
