?No contacts were made with Moscow, with President Putin,? Tillerson told reporters during a briefing with National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster at Trump?s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
He blamed the Russians for failing to prevent the use of chemical weapons in Syria, calling them ?complicit or incompetent,? which is why the United States took action.
According to the Pentagon, Russian ground forces in the area were given a ?deconfliction? notice prior to the attack.
Tillerson said that President Trump believed acting in this way against the Syrian regime was ?appropriate? and proportional? and that the response from American allies was ?overwhelmingly supportive.?
