<br/><br/> US Navy (USN) Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft have ramped up the USN's surveillance of Russian and Syrian deployments in Syria. The operations come amid expectations that Trump will launch missile strikes to punish the Syrian regime for an apparent chemical weapon attack on Douma: the last rebel-held town in Syria's Eastern Ghouta region.
