Donald Trump says anti-Semitism will be among disqualifying criteria for immigrants

Any country that wants to work with the U.S.to defeat “radical Islamic terrorism” will be a USA ally, he is expected to say.

In a partial transcript obtained by the Associated Press, Trump will be in OH on Monday to deliver his latest plan when it comes to foreign policy and immigration. He also called for global efforts to cut off funding to terrorist groups, expanded intelligence sharing, and cyberwarfare – all steps that are part of the existing White House strategy.

Trump said that his administration would prepare a list of regions where adequate screening can not take place and will stop processing visas from those areas.

Having boasted previous year that his approval ratings spiked after terror attacks, Trump sought on Monday to harness and intensify a climate of fear and vengeance, and then pin its causes on the current president and his former secretary of state. “Our country has enough problems”.

“It would require a near overhaul of the application form and very likely capture many more thousands of applicants in the “administrative processing” net”, explained Slocombe, describing a need for new application and interview standards – likely causing significant delays “although arguably not adding any greater security checks than already exist”.

“We will also work closely with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation on this new mission”, said Trump, whose remarks about the defense organization earlier this summer drew heavy criticism from allies and even some of his fellow Republicans.

A Trump administration would introduce new rules on immigration that would admit only those to the U.S. who share American values.

Secondly, upon taking office, he would ask that the State Department and Department of Homeland Security provide him with a list of countries where adequate screening “cannot take place”. The U.S. would stop issuing visas in any case where it can not perform adequate screenings.

Trump opened his remarks by drawing a contrast with how Hillary Clinton would handle the war on terror, saying that the Democratic nominee “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all the many adversaries we face-not only in terrorism, but in trade and every other challenge we must confront to turn this country around”. According to the most recent rolling average provided by Real Clear Politics, Clinton now leads the GOP nominee by seven points nationally, while pulling ahead in key battleground states like Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

While critics argue Trump’s rhetoric alienates moderate Muslims, he promised to include those voices in a new commission on radical Islam. “We want to bring in people who are reformers or who support moderation or who embrace or expand pluralistic ideas”, the campaign adviser. Biden called Trump’s views are “dangerous” and “un-American” and warned that Trump’s false assertions last week about President Obama founding the Islamic State could be used by extremists to target American service members in Iraq. Since that time, immigration has been a top priority for Trump, which will be the theme of his next foreign policy speech. “As she threw the Middle East into violent turmoil, things turned out really to be not so hot”. The policy would represent a significant shift in how the USA manages entry into the country. “Viciously if necessary”, he pledged.
