Trump vows to eradicate terrorism, protect civilisation

US President Donald Trump today vowed to eradicate terrorism and protect civilisation and asserted that the fight to defeat the Islamic State terror group will be shorter than expected.
"We will destroy ISIS and we will protect civilization. We have no choice," Trump told reporters at a joint news conference with visiting King Abdullah from Jordan.
"We will protect civilization. King Abdullah and I also discussed measures to combat the evil and ideology that inspires ISIS and plagues our planet," he said as he reiterated his resolve to defeat ISIS.
As far as ISIS is concerned, the US will work with whoever it's appropriate to work with to totally eradicate ISIS and other terrorists.

"And by the way, ISIS is one group, but others have formed. Frankly, they're all over the place. We will do what we have to do to eradicate terrorism," Trump said in response to a question.
"The King has been a leader in calling for a plan to defeat the ISIS once and for all, and I'm with you on that. We're both leaders on that, believe me. That's what we speak about today and that is what we are going to do. It will be a shorter fight than a lot of people are thinking about, believe me. We've made tremendous strides, as we discussed," he said.

"As you know, we had a very, very fine delegation come over from Egypt, and also from Iraq. And they said more has been done in the last six weeks than has been done in years with the previous administration, and believe me, we're going to keep it that way," said the US President.
