Worse, Biden said, Trump has proposed breaking up worldwide alliances, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which he said can help address the problem.
Trump attributed it to Democrats shying away from their “weakness”, which he blamed for the establishment of ISIS.
“As I travel today, I am reminded how important it is that the person who represents our nation is trusted by our allies - who knows how to work with them, not alienate them, to defeat ISIS - and who listens more than she talks”, she said.

On July 16, during an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes”, Trump accused Clinton of being directly responsible for the creation of ISIS, an assertion that the Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checker Politifact found to be false. Trump has offered little to back up that claim other than blaming Clinton’s “stupid policies”.

Biden then explained to ABC News why feels Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. “This man”, Pence said, motioning toward Trump, “will name our enemies without apology and he will defeat them”.
