President Donald Trump addressed his missile strike on Syria and America's involvement in the country's six-year civil war in an interview with Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo that aired Wednesday morning, NBC News reported.
"We're not going into Syria," the president said, adding that "what I did should have been done by the Obama administration a long time before I did it."
Trump went on to say that "even some of the worst tyrants in the world didn't use the kind of gases that [Syria] used."
He said seeing the chemical attack prompted him to say, "we have to do something."
