A new report suggests the U.S. may be preparing to hit Syria if President Bashar Al Assad ever uses chemical weapons.
According to a report released Saturday, National Security Adviser John Bolton issued the warning to his Russia counterpart earlier this week.
Bolton reportedly clarified the U.S. will respond with more force than it has in the past.
This comes just one day after a report surfaced from U.S. Intelligence suggesting Assad may be planning a chemical attack in the Idlib province.
