ISIS will pay a “big price” for every attack on the US, President Donald Trump said on Friday, days after eight people were killed in the deadliest terror attack in New York since 9/11.
Trump’s strong statement came after the ISIS terror group claimed that the attack on October 31 was carried out on its behalf by a domestically radicalised Uzbek immigrant to the US.
“ISIS just claimed the Degenerate Animal (sic) who killed, and so badly wounded, the wonderful people on the West Side, was ‘their soldier’,” Trump said in a tweet.
“Based on that, the military has hit ISIS ‘much harder’ over the last two days.
They will pay a big price for every attack on us!” Trump said before he boarded Air Force One for his maiden trip to Asia.
