Donald Trump vows to defeat ISIS by partnering with NATO
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced Monday his plan to partner with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to defeat the Islamic State terrorist group.
Trump spoke at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio where he shared his plan to wage a "military, cyber and financial" war against the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS or Daesh) militant group by tying up with defense organization.
"We will also work closely with NATO on this new mission," said Trump, according to Reuters. "We will defeat radical Islamic terrorism just as we have defeated every threat we've faced at every age and before."
As president, Trump he'll not just use his presidential powers to impose immigration ban on Muslims but also to intensify the screening process by ordering the U.S. State Department and Department of Homeland Security to screen out regions across the globe that posed a terrorist threat to America.
He also blamed President Barack Obama for tolerating the rise of the extremist group and undermined his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as incapable of launching the war on terrorism.
"Importantly, she also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all of the many adversaries we face," said Trump.
Clinton's camp shot back by criticizing Trump's plan as "a cynical ploy to escape scrutiny of his outrageous proposal to ban an entire religion from our country and no one should fall for it."
The conservative group American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) also blamed Obama for failing to carry out concrete steps against the radical terrorism and for undercutting its real threats.
ACLJ presented five concrete "common-sense steps" to destroy ISIS and Islamic jihadists. This includes naming the enemy for what it truly is, fixing broken intelligence as shown by the FBI's failure to recognize radicalized American citizens, ramping up undercover stings to further recognize local jihadists, enforcing full-on military force and urging the U.S. Congress to add the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) in its War on Terror.
