Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump today said if elected he would go to Congress and seek declaration of war against the ISIS terror group and would involve NATO in the effort.
“I would. I would. This is war,” Trump told Fox News in an interview when asked if he would go to the Congress and ask for a declaration of war.
“If you look at it, this is war coming from all different parts. And frankly it’s war, and we’re dealing with people without uniforms. In the old days you would have uniforms. You knew what you were fighting,” he said.
“We are allowing people into our country who we have no idea where they are, where they are from, who they are, they have no paperwork, they have no documentation in many cases and Hillary Clinton wants to allow 550 per cent more than even Obama and he is letting them in by the thousands,” he said.
Trump said NATO should also be involved in the war.
“I have been saying it we should use NATO for a purpose. I mean, we’re spending a fortune on NATO. We have countries in NATO that don’t make a fair contribution,” he said.
“We are supporting NATO and we should at least get something out of it and getting rid of ISIS and getting rid of this cancer that we’re watching all over the world, that certainly would be a good thing, a good thing for NATO to be involved in,” he added.
