President Trump sounded off Sunday on an attack in Syria that killed two American troops and a civilian interpreter.
He said the U.S. will retaliate, but not against the Syrian government.
Three great patriots terminated by bad people, and not the Syrian government.
It was ISIS. Syrian government fought by our side.
That attack happened near the city of Palmyra and also wounded three other U.S. service members.
U.S. military leaders say the attack highlights the ongoing threat from ISIS remnants in the region.
The attacker was killed during the assault.
American forces remain in Syria to counter ISIS and support local partners.
Both the House and Senate Armed Services Committee have launched probes
into a follow-up military strike in waters near Venezuela that killed two survivors of the initial strike.
The operation targeted a boat identified as a cartel drug-running vessel.
GOP congressman Mike Turner serves on the House committee, and he told ABCs this week.
This oversight investigation is going to proceed, and as such, we're going to certainly get
to the bottom of both what occurred, what acts did occur.
And as that investigation goes forward, you know, Congress will have more information
to be able to understand what occurred and how do we proceed next.
The Trump administration identified the people aboard the boat as members of the Venezuelan
Trende Aragua drug cartel, which the president has designated as a foreign terrorist group.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers largely have very different reactions to the strike.
Some Democrats are accusing the Trump administration of committing a possible war crime.
But House Speaker Mike Johnson has said the strikes were, quote, entirely appropriate.
Britain's King Charles III is sharing positive news about his cancer treatment,
and he used a video update to urge people to get tested, stressing the importance of early detection.
I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis,
effective intervention and adherence to doctors' orders, my own schedule of cancer treatment can
be reduced in the new year. Charles encouraged others to take advantage of screening programs.
The King has been receiving outpatient treatment for almost two years for an undisclosed form of
cancer. And the U.S. gas prices have continued to tick downward, dropping another nickel over
the past week to $2.91 per gallon, according to AAA. That in spite of a number. That
of a record number of travelers over the holiday season.
Oklahoma has the cheapest gas in the country once again
with a per-gallon average of $2.32.
California is not the most expensive state for gas for a change.
That would be Hawaii this week at $4.46 per gallon.
