(FOX NEWS) – President Trump warned the Kremlin on Wednesday not to retaliate against any U.S. strike on Syria in the aftermath of a deadly chemical weapons attack orchestrated by the Assad regime.
In a morning tweet, Trump referred to Syrian President Bashar Assad as a “Gas Killing Animal” and rebuked Russia for being “partners” with the Middle East strongman.
“Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria,” Trump wrote. “Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!”
Trump’s comments follow remarks from Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon, who reportedly said told a Hezbollah television station Tuesday that Russia would shoot down American missiles fired at Syrian government targets.

“If there is a strike by the Americans, then…the missiles will be downed and even the sources from which the missiles were fired,” Ambassador Alexander Zasypkin told Hezbollah’s al-Manar television station.
