“In Ohio, the Republican presidential nominee will lay out proposals to combat ISIS and prevent terrorist attacks in the United States, including banning individuals from countries with heavy terrorist footprints where the U.S. government can not adequately vet visa applicants and increasing cooperation with willing Middle Eastern allies, a senior Trump campaign official said”, CNN.com reports.

Mrs Clinton has seized on Republican concerns about Mr Trump, highlighting the steady stream of party national security experts who say the billionaire tycoon is unfit to serve as commander in chief.
In the speech, he did not lay out his own military strategy for defeating the so-called Islamic State.
Painting a grim picture of a world under attack and a homeland threatened by terror, he argued that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doesn’t have the “mental and physical stamina” to fight ISIS.
“We will also work closely with NATO on this new mission”, said Trump, whose previous remarks about the organisation earlier this summer drew heavy criticism from usa allies, and even some of his fellow Republicans.
Trump vowed to “temporarily suspend immigration from some of the most unsafe and volatile regions of the world that have a history of exporting terrorism” until the United States can improve its vetting process for travelers from those countries. Including, therefore, Russia, with whom Donald Trump assures to find a ” common interest ” in the fight against the Islamic State.
He also vowed “a swift and decisive end” to “the era of nation-building”, promising to galvanize the worldwide community to jointly confront the terrorist threat and vowing to partner with any country willing to join in that mission.
The Clinton campaign said these and other comments show that Trump lacks the temperament to be president.
Trump suggested the course of history would have been different had the USA taken a more colonial approach to Iraq, keeping control of that country’s oil supply following the 2003 invasion.
In introducing Trump to the audience at Youngstown State, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said the GOP nominee is “our only hope for change” when it comes to dealing with “the danger that we face from radical Islamic terrorism”.
Donald Trump, who has made tighter controls on immigration a mainstay of his campaign, has a new plan: an ideological test for anyone entering the U.S.
Trump is also set to make clear in his prepared remarks that the USA will abandon any ambitions for nation-building or spreading democracy in the Middle East, expanding on his criticism of the Iraq War while on the campaign trail. Obama discarded that strategy while trying to keep enough USA influence there to prevent those two countries from crumbling.
“I call it extreme vetting, I call it extreme, extreme vetting”.
During his speech in the swing state of Ohio, Trump blamed “disastrous” decisions by Obama and political foe Hillary Clinton for the rise of IS (Daesh).
He vowed to ban visas to countries with suspect security practices and deny access to anyone that does not embrace what trump described as tolerant American society.

But experts say it’s unclear how the proposals would differ from current US immigration policy – or how they could help prevent terrorist attacks. We admit about 100,000 permanent immigrants from the middle east every year. “Immigration offices will also have their powers restored. He’s talked about sending ground troops, American ground troops – well, that is off the table as far as I am concerned”, she said in Scranton, Pa.
