Donald Trump Calls For ‘Extreme Vetting’ Of Immigrants To US
He vowed to join any country that shares his goal of defeating the extremist group, regardless of other strategic disagreements, and named Russian Federation as a nation he would like to improve relations with. “Very important – some don’t share this goal”. Instead, his statements about U.S. foreign policy and the rise of the Islamic State as well as his legally and ethically problematic call for an ideological test for immigrants should be discussed and challenged.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will unveil his plan to defeat ISIS during a speech from Youngstown, Ohio today.
Much of his speech blamed President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for policies he said unleashed the Islamic State and brought chaos to the Middle East.
In his speech Trump did say that the foreign policy of Obama and Clinton “unleashed” the “Islamic State”.
“We can be nice about it, say it’s never going to happen again, there will be more [attacks]”, Trump later added.
And while the Republican presidential nominee argued against nation-building in a foreign policy speech Monday, he advocated for something even more grandiose: seizing Iraq’s oil wealth in the aftermath of the US invasion in 2003 that toppled Saddam Hussein.
That list of anti-ISIS allies would include Russian Federation.
Trump also said he wanted work closely with Russian Federation to defeat the terror group.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump is using new language to talk about how he’d make decisions as president.
Various officials have also accused Russian Federation and China of involvement in anti-U.S. cyber attacks. It is precisely for this perceived retrenchment that many Republicans – and Trump – have repeatedly criticized Obama. “It is clear that the focus on regime change has created the vacuums that allow terrorists to grow and thrive”, the campaign said.
Donald Trump is calling for “extreme” vetting of immigrants seeking admission to the United States, but he’s offering few specifics about how that might work, how long it might last or how taxpayers would foot the bill.
It may have been vague on the details of how IS will be defeated militarily, how extremists would be stopped from accessing the internet or how immigrants that share American values would be separated from those who do not, but this speech would have gone down well with his supporters. Following a massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in June, Trump introduced a new standard, vowing to “suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies, until we fully understand how to end these threats”.
In an interview with Time soon after he was elected, Khan said he would be prevented from traveling to the U.S.to exchange ideas with American mayors by virtue of his faith if Trump becomes president. “He would nearly certainly fail, given his general ignorance and weak grasp of basic facts about American history, principles and functioning of our government”.
Trump said that there are “many such regions”, but did not name them specifically.
Trump has claimed that his comments were “sarcastic“, though he later added, “not that sarcastic”.
Democrats need to net five Senate seats in November – four if they also retain the White House – to win back the majority, and believe Trump will be a drag on down-ballot races. Indeed, the more extreme the anti- immigration rhetoric, the stronger the support from the GOP. “I had previously said that North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was obsolete because it failed to deal adequately with terrorism; since my comments they have changed their policy and now have a new division focused on terror threats”, he said, adding that the apparent development is “very, very good”.
