Trump poised to seek new military options for defeating ISIS
None
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump is expected to ask the Pentagon on Friday for options to accelerate the fight against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.
Current and former US officials say the options probably will include several the Obama administration considered but didn't act on -- from adding significantly more troops to bolstering military aid to Kurdish fighters.
Trump's visit to the Defense Department's headquarters will start the conversation over how to fulfill his pledge to eradicate radical Islamic terrorism "completely from the face of the Earth."
