The GOP presidential nominee also floated the creation of a commission on radical Islam, which he said would advise the public and law enforcement about how to stem the tide of radicalization.

“I call it extreme, extreme, vetting”. “Very important – some don’t share this goal”. “We should have never made such a sudden withdrawal on a timetable advertised to our enemies”, Trump argued.
“Mr. Trump will outline his vision for defeating radical Islamic terrorism, and explain how the policies of Obama-Clinton are responsible for the rise of ISIS and the spread of barbarism that has taken the lives of so many”, Miller said Sunday in an email, using an alternative acronym for the Islamic State group.

“With one episode of bad judgment after another, Hillary Clinton’s bad policies launched ISIS onto the world stage”, Trump said.
“We can find common ground with Russian Federation in the fight against ISIS”.
Mr Trump also promised to work with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in the fight against militants.
While Trump said he would demand better human-rights treatment across the Middle East, he endorsed working with Sissi, who has systematically imprisoned thousands of opponents, limited freedom of speech and been unable to stop the expansion of ISIS in his country.
Trump called for working with coalition partners, even as the US war against ISIS consists of a coalition of more than 60 nations.
Numerous things Trump attacked – including the Iraq invasion, the Libya intervention and the Iraq withdrawal under Obama – are developments he has expressed support for in past years.
Trump also asserted that Libya, Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Iran all posed lesser threats before Obama took office.
Immigration has been a major talking point throughout Trump’s campaign, including his proposed border wall and Muslim immigration ban.
Domestically, Trump reiterated his call for a ban on immigration from “some of the most unsafe and volatile regions of the world that have a history of supporting terrorism”.
Under Trump’s plan, immigrants would also be subjected to tests to show a commitment to US values, including religious freedom and tolerance.
Trump says he would temporarily suspend immigration from what he calls the world’s most volatile and unsafe regions with a history of supporting terrorism.
“Donald Trump on Monday upped his call for action against radical Islam in an effort to reclaim the offensive on national security, proposing an ideological test to keep would-be immigrants with radical views out of the US”. “He would nearly certainly fail, given his general ignorance and weak grasp of basic facts about American history, principles and functioning of our government”, Reid said.
Trump said that there are “many such regions”, but did not name them specifically. Critics jumped on Trump’s statement that “Second Amendment people” might have to deal with the prospect of a Clinton presidency, calling it an incitement to violence.
The Republican nominee also described President Obama as a “founder” of the Islamic State last week, drawing criticism.
Paul Sracic, chair of the department of politics and worldwide relations at YSU, said this was an important speech because Trump filled in some of the details about his plans.
Manafort’s lawyer told the Times the Trump campaign manager never received those payments, but Ukraine’s new government, which toppled Yanukovcyh, is investigating and suspects could have been part of an illegal, off-the-books scheme.
Trump said he would call for an worldwide conference focused on doing that and would partner with King Abdullah of Jordan, oft-criticized Egypt President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi and Israel.
Trump did not specify exactly what his attack plans would be in the Middle East and other terrorist strongholds – “my administration will not telegraph exactly military plans and what they are” – but did blast Democrats for intervening too much in the affairs of other countries.
In a policy speech, Trump said he would wage a multi-front “military, cyber and financial” war against Islamic State, although it was not clear how that would differ from the Obama administration’s fight with the jihadist group.

He said the immigration flow to the U.S.is now too large to allow for “adequate screening”.
