“Diplomatic conflict” - strongly worded condemnations of each other, cooling of relations, propaganda wars, UN resolutions.

“Something” that Obama could have done is military assault on Assad forces that were involved in chemical attacks or declaring a no-fly zone over Syria. Stuff that Trump physically cannot do today, due to heavy Russian military presence in Syria.
