Now for a look at stories making headlines around the world….<br />U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Russia of imminent military action against Syria over a suspected chemical weapons attack on Douma. <br />For more on this and other international news we turn to Ro Aram…<br />Aram… Russia has already warned that any U.S. military action would be met with a response.... but President Trump is not backing down…. <br /><br /> That's right Semin…. Trump reacted to that warning by tweeting Wednesday that Russia should "get ready" for missiles to be fired at Syria. <br /> His tweet also came after reports a U.S. Navy destroyer had entered Syrian waters. <br />Washington believes the Assad regime and its allies are responsible for the alleged poison gas attack - which they say did not happen. <br />Russia's foreign ministry responded to Trump's tweets by saying "smart missiles should fly towards terrorists, not towards the lawful government."<br />Meanwhile, the UK and France are also reported to have agreed to back the U.S. if it takes military action against the Syrian regime. <br /> However, U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis struck a more cautious tone, saying officials are still assessing intelligence about the suspected attack.<br />But he said he stood ready to provide military options if requested by the president.<br /> Any suggestion of a U.S. military confrontation against Syria will worsen what is already a tense and volatile situation in the Middle Eastern nation. <br />It would also add more confusion to U.S. policy in the region and deepen the rift between the U.S. and Russia. <br />In another tweet on Wednesday, Trump noted that U.S.-Russia relations were at a new low, adding there was no reason for it to be that way. <br />
