Both
presidential nominees agree that the armed group poses a threat to
America and the world, but disagree on how to beat it. US Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump blames his rival Democrat Hillary
Clinton, and President Barack Obama for the rise of ISIL. He's also
criticized NATO for not doing enough to fight terrorism.
So far Trump has not outlined a detailed plan to fight the armed group.
But he has said that he's willing to work with Russia in Syria, rather than alienate it.
Clinton supports intensifying air strikes on the group's fighters, and going after its leaders.
She
says fighting in Syria and Iraq has contributed to ISIL's spread, and
insists that resolving those conflicts is key to beating the group.
According
to Trump, her plan for Syria could lead to World War III. He says the
focus needs to be on ISIL, not on President Bashar al Assad.
Does either US presidential candidate have a viable strategy to defeat ISIL?
