Obama adviser: Strike due to ‘home problems’
Jeremy Shapiro, an adviser at the State Department under the Obama administration, says President Trump launched the missile attack on Syria because he is "having problems at home".
Speaking to Mark Mardell on Radio 4's World at One, Mr Shapiro says the attack was a "symbolic act of domestic politics" that was unlikely to "improve the lives of people in a far away country".
