During much of the interview with CBS\u2019s \u2018Face the Nation\u2019 host John Dickerson, Trump spoke about the changes he has made to the Oval Office during the 100 first days of his presidency.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel very warm toward the Oval Office\u2026This is a special place. The White House is special. The Oval Office, very special\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut most importantly, you know, the decisions. Like, when I make the decision to go with Syria, the 59 Tomahawk missiles. Unbelievable technology. We have unbelievable talent. But those are tough decisions. Those aren’t, like, decisions that I’m going to buy a building\u2014\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTough why?\u201d<\/em> Dickerson interrupted.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it’s human lives,\u201d<\/em> Trump replied. \u201cYou’re killing people. And you can kill the wrong people, too,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, those things go off and they end up in a town or they end up in a city. And you have another tragedy on your hands. So, these decisions are unbelievable \u2013 you know, in terms of the importance because it’s human \u2013 it’s\u2026it’s\u2026it’s killing. I hate it. But things have to be done,\u201d<\/em> Trump said<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On April 7, the US fired 59 cruise missiles at the Syrian airbase. The strike was ordered by Trump in response to an alleged chemical attack in the town of Khan Shaykhun that occurred on April 4.<\/p>\n

The Syrian Army slammed Washington\u2019s attack as \u201cblatant aggression,\u201d<\/em> claiming that it makes the US a partner of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS\/ISIL) and other terrorist organizations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Referring to an order to hit Syria, Belgium\u2019s top diplomat, Foreign Minister Didier Reynders, called on Trump to make sure his next foreign policy decisions are made within the United Nations\u2019 framework.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis decision was taken outside the international framework. [Decisions] must go through the United Nations,\u201d<\/em> Reynders told Bel RTL radio last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
