Ivanka Trump backs her father’s decision to carry out airstrikes against Syria

Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Syria in the wake of a chemical attack against civilians has been met with mixed receptions but Ivanka is firmly on her father’s side. She took to Twitter to express her ‘pride’ at her father’s decision.

President Trump’s attack on the Al Shayrat military base was in response to a sarin gas attack on the town of Khan Shaykhun, which left more than 80 people dead – including at least 30 children and 20 women.

Ivanka, a mother of three, was quick to condemn the sarin gas attack, calling it ‘atrocious’.
