White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said a final decision has yet to be made on the U.S. response following Trump's early morning tweets warning that missiles would be headed to Syria and that its ally Russia should "get ready."

“We have a number of options and all of those options are still on the table,” Sanders told reporters. “The president has a number of options at his disposal and a number remain on the table.”

Trump has blamed Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government and his ally Russian President Vladimir Putin for the suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria over the weekend that killed at least 49 people.

Trump called it "an atrocious attack" and said he'll decide on a response soon.

"Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and 'smart!'" Trump tweeted Wednesday.

Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon, Alexander Zasypkin, said prior to Trump’s tweet that if there was a U.S. missile attack, Russian air defenses would shoot them down.

When asked if Trump’s tweets represent a national security risk, Sanders said, “Not at all.”

She defended that Trump’s tweet didn’t give any plans away, adding that the president is still deciding on a timetable and repeating that he’s leaving a number of options on the table.

Sanders also declined to say whether there were specific plans for the White House to seek congressional approval for a strike in Syria as some lawmakers have pushed.

"The administration will follow whatever laws and regulations are necessary for any actions that we take,” Sanders said. “Because we haven’t laid out any specific actions we plan to take I can't tell you exactly what needs we would have to go to Congress with."

Sanders was also pressed about Trump’s tweet that blamed special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE’s Russia investigation for the United State’s current relationship with Moscow.

Trump tweeted that the “bad blood with Russia is caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation, headed up by the all Democrat loyalists, or people that worked for Obama.”

Sanders maintained that Trump continues to deny any collusion between his campaign and Russia and has pushed for better relations with Putin.

“At the same time, [the Russia probe] hampered the ability to do so, as well as the bad actions that Russia has taken including meddling in the election among other things, but tying the president to that has created a lot of unnecessary problems," she said.
