"Amongst America’s traditional allies there was concern that Trumps’ unexpected rhetoric might tear apart the careful consensus forged at the UN in recent weeks over ramping up economic sanctions. No warning had been given to Western allies that Trump intended to escalate US threats.
The Australian leader Malcolm Turnbull warned a US military strike would have “catastrophic consequences for the world”, and the New Zealand prime minister, Bill English, said the comments were “not helpful in an environment that is very tense”. English said Trump’s comments were more likely to escalate the situation than settle it."
