President Donald Trump on Wednesday again vowed to "totally eradicate ISIS and other terrorists."
Taking questions from reporters along with King Abdullah II of Jordan at the Rose Garden, the president continued to assure victory over terrorism.
"As far as ISIS is concerned, the United States will work with whoever it's appropriate to work with, to totally eradicate ISIS and other terrorists," Trump told the assembly. "And by the way, ISIS is one group. But others have formed. Frankly, they're all over the place. We will do what we have to do to eradicate terrorists."
Earlier, Trump praised Abdullah as a man who is also committed to do what is necessary to defeat ISIS.
"He's a man who has spent years commanding his country's special forces. He really knows what is being a soldier is, that, I can tell you. And he knows how to fight," Trump said. "The king has been a leader in calling for a plan to defeat ISIS once and for all.
"We will destroy ISIS, and we will protect civilization. We have no choice. We will protect civilization. King Abdullah and I also discussed measures to combat the evil and ideology that inspires ISIS and plagues our planet," Trump said.
