President Donald Trump has been angry quite a bit lately. This seems to be the main theme that is trumpeted on the Trump-hating networks like CNN and the other mainstream news media networks.

Tensions were palpable at the UN Security Council afterwards, with sparks flying between US, UK and Russian representatives, as the Tripartite powers are accused of flouting international law and undermining the United Nations itself.

Two US ambassadors – Nikki Haley, the US’s ambassador to the UN, and John Huntsman, the US’s ambassador to Russia – have confirmed that the US Treasury Department will be unveiling further sanctions on Russia tomorrow in retaliation for Russia’s continued support for President Assad.

On April 3rd, Trump announced that he was seeking to remove U.S. troops from Syria as soon as possible.
