WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) issued the following statement regarding Thursday’s airstrike in Syria:

“The six-year slaughter in Syria tragically has been met by a totally inadequate response from the civilized world. The Assad regime's most recent atrocity has drawn swift and appropriate action by the Trump administration. Unfortunately, the massacre in Syria is just one of many crises that threaten world peace and require immediate attention. Responsible leaders throughout the world must work together with urgency to achieve greater stability – but America will have to lead.”
