Tusk, on behalf of the EU, and France and Germany have endorsed Trump's action. WTF has Brexit got to do with it?
I don't know what the EU has got to do with it either.
If Trump is clever he's gaining international support by forcing people to pick sides, and obviously western countries have no real choice but to pick the US side.
If you became US President with all that military power at your disposal it'd be pretty tempting to go blow some tulip up.
If you had no humanity left in you by that time and you just viewed other humans as pawns with no feelings. Who cares about those Syrians? They are Muslims remember. Even their kids are different to the humans we have here in the west - they are all just like cattle. In fact we care more about animals rights here than we do about human rights abroad.

The video should be life-saving measures after a chemical attack with chlorine gas (now claimed to be Sarin; not possible), including injection of adrenaline via syringe with a long needle into the heart of an infant. In no way were treatments correctly given for any potential chemical agent.
The handling and treatment of the child was done in a manner that was careless, dangerous and likely to cause serious harm.
Most telling is the fake repeated shots of adrenaline, supposedly into the heart. The medical personnel, and I think we can safely call them actors at this point, failed to push the plunger on the needle. Thus, the contents of the syringe were never injected as is clearly visible in the video itself.
The visible diagnosis by a team of actual medical experts, based on what is observed in the video, indicates that the child was suffering from an injection of opiates and was likely dying of an overdose. There is no evidence of any other agent, chemical or otherwise.
None of the children in the videos showed any sign of being a victim of a chemical attack. From an earlier video by the White Helmets: It was clear that the faked injection with the long needle administered through the stitches murdered the child in the video. This was a purposeful killing staged to appear as medical treatment.
Behind the fake translation of the videos, the actual Arabic included stage directions for positioning the child for the video, not for medical treatment. The videos were produced by the White Helmets, together with the organization “coordinating sarmin”, their logo a black jihadist flag (Al Qaeda). In the video are also white helmets to see.

Do you have a link to a reputable news site for that? I can only find that text on fairly far "out there" sites which I wouldn't trust, and I can't find any such declaration on the swedhr.org website itself. It has a lot of the hallmarks of fake news, but I'm open to be convinced if you have a link to a serious and credible site.
It is probably a last throw of the dice from the rebels to get some kind of help from USA in its fight against Assad. During Obama, they tried it and did not succeed. What has Assad got to profit from using chemical weapons? He has taken control back from majority of the areas and can defeat the rebels easily with conventional weapons.
