Could the decision to strike Syrian targets after a recent chemical weapons attack impact the planned landmark summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un?

Friday¡¯s strikes, conducted together with France and Britain after Syria¡¯s apparent use of chemical weapons on April 7, were the Trump administration¡¯s second against Damascus after the White House ordered a Syrian air base targeted last year in the wake of an earlier chemical attack.
