Addressing the World Economic Forum (WEF) gathering here, Trump said the US is working with allies and partners to destroy jihadist terrorist organisations such as ISIS.
"We are committed to ensuring that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists who want to commit mass murder of our citizens.
"I want to thank those nations represented here today that have joined in these crucial efforts. You are not just securing your own citizens, but saving lives and restoring hope for millions," the American president said.
"To make the world safer from rogue regimes, terrorism, and revisionist powers, we are asking our friends and allies to invest in their own defences and to meet their financial obligations," he said, adding that "our common security requires everyone to contribute their fair share".
Trump said the US is leading a broad coalition to deny terrorists control of their territory and populations, to cut off their funding, and to discredit their wicked ideology.
