May urges world to act on use of chemical weapons

UK Prime Minister Theresa May said that the international community needs to do more together to prevent future chemical weapons use, according to the British government's press release.

"We worked closely with our allies on a co-ordinated response to Russia's use of chemical weapons in Salisbury, resulting in 28 countries as well as NATO joining us in expelling a total of over 150 Russian intelligence officers, the largest collective expulsion ever," said ahead of her address to the UN Security Council.

May again accused Moscow and Damascus of using chemical weapons, saying that the "red line around the use of chemical weapons use is being undermined".
