The Republican presidential candidate spelled out his immigration and foreign policies to an appreciative crowd in Youngstown, Ohio who interrupted him several times with chants of “Trump!Trump!” Reading directly from a TelePrompter, a subdued Trump rarely departed from his script.

The plan includes suspending visas from countries with ties to terrorism and “extreme vetting” of those applying to enter the US.
“In the Cold War”, he said, “we had an ideological screening test”.
The Republican nominee has made stricter immigration measures a central part of his proposals for defeating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, a battle he said Monday is akin to the Cold War struggle against communism.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reported that corruption investigators in Ukraine say an illegal, off-the-books payment network earmarked $12.7 million in cash payments in 2007-2012 for Paul Manafort, now Trump’s campaign chairman. He said the implementation of new screening procedures would require the temporary suspension of immigration “from some of the most unsafe and volatile regions of the world that have a history of exporting terrorism”. “Foreign combatants will be tried in military commissions”, he said.
Donald Trump has said that he will work closely with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies to defeat the Islamic State (Isis) if he wins the U.S. presidential election in November. He did not mention that possibility in his speech. “We want to bring in people who are reformers or who support moderation or who embrace or expand pluralistic ideas”, the campaign adviser said.
Trump said he would call for an global conference focused on doing that and would partner with King Abdullah of Jordan, President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi of Egypt and Israel.
Clinton might also be buoyed by her VP choice, Tim Kaine, the former governor and current senator from the state, who has a long history in local politics. “And not necessarily for good things”. All of these proposals are already policies that the Obama administration has been pursuing.
Trump is also expected to propose a new immigration policy under which the US would stop issuing visas in cases where adequate screenings can’t be performed. “We will be even extreme, extreme”, Trump promised as supporters applauded his plan of launching new questioning procedures for would-be immigrants to the United States.
North Atlantic Treaty Organisation first committed to increased counterterrorism activities at its summit in Wales in 2012.
It will be the latest version of a policy that began with Trump’s unprecedented call to temporarily bar foreign Muslims from entering the country – a religious test that was criticized across party lines as un-American. “I’d blow up every single inch, there would be nothing left”, he said in November.
“They know how to vote for one party for one office and the other party for another office”, said Greenberg, who said the Senate races will be fought “district by district”. The group that would become what we now call ISIS was close to being extinguished. I have a great plan.
If Trump likes them, “He would have loved” Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union until his death in 1953. “I’d rather be unpredictable”. He’s talked about sending ground troops – American ground troops.
Monday’s speech by Trump was about terrorism, and if elected, he said he would stop it, with a particular focus on destroying ISIS, also known as Islamic State, a terrorist organization based in the Middle East.
And he lambasted Clinton with the same criticism she’s leveled at him in trying to make the case that his are the safest hands to steer the country.
Trump said his administration will keep open Guantanamo Bay, and place a renewed emphasis on human intelligence. A number of the terrorist attacks he listed, and the plan for withdrawing USA troops from Iraq, occurred under Bush.
It is yet more grim polling news for Trump, who has endured a rough stretch of the campaign after accepting the Republican presidential nomination in Cleveland last month. “The situation is likely worse than the public has any idea”, he said.
Trump said he would ask the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security “to identify a list of regions where adequate screening can not take place”.
“I was saying this constantly and consistently to whomever would listen”.
“I’ve laid out my strategy for defeating ISIS”, Clinton said.
But all of the oil sold by the militants has come from fields they occupy in Syria. They were in seven nations.

These statements are the latest in a series of controversial remarks by the Republican nominee on radical Islam, which began a year ago with his call to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. Trump has faced sinking polls numbers this week, falling significantly behind Clinton in key swing states.
