“This will require military warfare, but also cyberwarfare, financial warfare and ideological warfare”, Trump said during an address in Philadelphia.

Donald Trump says that he had a “thoughtful and substantive” conversation with Mexico’s president on Wednesday as he kicks off a long-awaited speech on immigration.
Trump’s address comes hours before his national security acumen is tested at a “commander in chief” forum on NBC that will also include Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The latest Reuters-Ipsos poll shows Mr Trump with 40 per cent support versus 39 per cent for Mrs Clinton, effectively ending Mrs Clinton’s bump up in the polls after the Democratic nominating convention. They ask: ‘What is it?’ Well, I’d rather not say.
Trump and Clinton will have plenty of chances to exchange their insults and attacks face-to-face in 19 days, when the first of three presidential debates takes place.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, pledging a major new military buildup, and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton get a chance on Wednesday to show how they would lead the USA armed forces as commander-in-chief.
In her first televised forum of the general election campaign, Democrat Hillary Clinton acknowledged that it was a “mistake” for her to maintain a private email server while she was Secretary of State.
While Clinton and Trump will be featured at the Wednesday night forum, they will appear at separate times and will not face each other on stage. That total is expected to come largely from small-dollar donors, who have flocked to the Republican nominee thanks to his costly investment in digital fundraising tools.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Wednesday night doubled down on a comment he made in 2013 that sexual assaults in the US military are bound to happen if women are allowed to serve alongside men. “So if they’re my two options, I’m going to opt for Trump”.
“I am proposing a new foreign policy focused on advancing America’s core national interests, promoting regional stability, and producing an easing of tensions in the world”.
He told supporters at the invitees-only event in the Union League of Philadelphia that America is under threat like never before from foes like radical Islamists, North Korea and China.
But before he could embark on a military buildup, he would have to convince Congress to rescind mandatory defense-spending cuts, part of what is known as sequestration, or the sequester.
The GOP candidate did not supply an overall cost estimate for his plans, though he said “budget reforms” and the collection of unpaid taxes would help finance them.
The event brought together the meticulously prepared Clinton and Trump, a NY businessman whose brash, freewheeling style has allowed him to dominate the headlines for months.
While rejecting someone as atrocious as Donald Trump might not seem like a big deal, it’s a historic move for The Dallas Morning News. Clinton released the names of her top money-raising “bundlers”; Trump refuses.
