World

WASHINGTON— A classified briefing led by US President Donald Trump’s cabinet officials demonstrates the administration’s revitalized “commitment” to destroy Daesh terrorist group, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Bob Corker said in a press release, Sputnik reported.

The briefing was conducted behind closed doors on Wednesday by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford.

 “There is a lot more clarity and a lot more focus on partnering with other countries to completely annihilate ISIS [Daesh],” the release stated after the briefing. “There is a renewed energy and a renewed focus, and I think every senator present today knows this administration is not playing around.”

Corker emphasized the Trump administration aims to do everything possible to stop members of Daesh group from getting away to other countries.

The US-led coalition of more than 70 members is currently conducting airstrikes allegedly against Daesh in Syria and Iraq. The strikes in Syria are not authorized by the UN Security Council or the Syrian government.
