'France will strike' if proven chemical bombs used in Syria: Macron

By Marine Pennetier and Michel Rose PARIS (Reuters) - President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that "France will strike" if chemical weapons are used against civilians in the Syrian conflict in violation of international treaties, but that he had not yet seen proof this was the case. Macron said last May that the use of chemical weapons would represent a "red line".
