According to media reports, Tillerson could use his Russian Federation trip to push the Kremlin to back away from Assad.
The Russian government said today that it will not shoot down further USA missile strikes against Syrian targets; however, they left open the possibility for Syrian anti-aircraft forces to do so.
The Syrian government has denied it was behind the April 4 assault which killed as many as 100 people. Trump had previously been reluctant to intervene against Assad.
Tillerson himself raised fresh expectations for aggressive US action - and not only in Syria - as he visited Sant'Anna di Stazzema, a Tuscan village where the Nazis massacred more than 500 civilians during World War II. "Russia and Iran will not allow the United States to be the only superpower in world".
"We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world", Mr Tillerson said. As he laid a wreath at the site, Tillerson alluded to the chemical attack in Syria last week that triggered retaliatory US airstrikes.
Russian Federation and Iran, President Assad's key military backers, are also threatening retaliation if there are any further American air strikes. Thomas said the US intends to return to full offensive air operations against IS as soon as possible.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said further strikes were on the table. As he laid a wreath, he alluded to the Syria chemical attack.

Of potential concern to other soccer federations is how many automatic bids would be awarded to the three-way host. Trump "is especially pleased that Mexico is a part of this bid", Gulati said.
"I will tell you: ... if you gas a baby, if you put a barrel bomb into innocent people, I think you will see a response from this president", Spicer said. The allegation of Russian foreknowledge is grave, even by the standards of the now dismal U.S. "Nothing has changed in our posture", a White House official said in a written statement.
"The United States crossed red lines by attacking Syria, from now on we will respond to anyone, including America if it attacks Syria and crosses the red lines".
Trump administration officials said a week ago that they had abandoned the goal of forcing Assad to leave power.
The U.S.is hinting that its true long-term goal in striking the airfield was to send a political message - that long-term peace in Syria will require changes in government, and the countries backing Assad should stop keeping him in place.
The top American diplomat plans to use his meetings with foreign ministers from the Group of 7 industrialized economies - normally a venue for wonky economic discussions - to try to persuade leading countries to support the US plan.
