Boris Johnson says it would be very difficult for the UK to refuse the US if it asked for support in another military strike on Syria.
The foreign secretary said MPs would not necessarily have a vote on any proposed joint action.
But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said if the request was made to him as prime minister he would ask for the United Nations to intervene.
“I don’t see how more bombing would help,” he told the BBC.
The US carried out a missile strike against a Syrian air base earlier this month – days after a chemical attack that left 80 people dead and hundreds wounded.
Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad denied his forces were responsible.
Mr Johnson claimed the Assad regime had “unleashed murder upon his own citizens with weapons that were banned almost 100 years ago”.
